I have to appear in court in the state of Tennessee for a motion to collect back support from my ex. He has not paid child support for our son in 9 years. His attorney filed a Defendent's request to produce documents in which I an being asked to submit all bank statements, written checks and deposit slips to any bank accounts in my name or in which I have access. The request also asks for my federal income tax returns for the years 1996 through 2004 and a copy of my most recent pay check stub. I have no problem submitting my tax returns or my pay check stubs, but I feel submitting my written checks,deposit slips and bank statements would be an invasion of my privacy. Am I obligated to submit this information? Am I protected under any constitutional rights to privacy? I need to know these things because I only have one more week before the answers have to be submitted to his attorney.
Thank you.
