National > Divorce > Federal Child Support Guidelines:

Must parents continue to make financial disclosure to each other once the support order is in place?

In some circumstances they do:

  • If a child support order deals with special expenses or undue hardship, the parent against whom the order has been made must disclose his or her financial information upon written request from the other parent.
  • If it was decided that a spouse did not have to pay support because their income was less than the minimum, they must disclose their financial information upon written request from the other parent.
  • If the income of the receiving parent was used to determine support (e.g., shared custody), that parent must disclose his or her financial information upon wirtten request from the other parent.

Requests cannot be made more than once a year after the original order is made.
