How much further back do they want you to go, and what are they asking for?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
In separation, attorneys asked for financial documents going back 12 months and I provided them. Now, they want to go back further in time. How far back am I required to provide statements? Thanks.
But 3 years would not be unusual or particularly onerous.How much further back do they want you to go, and what are they asking for?
Depending on the specifics of what they are asking for. I have seen some incredibly onerous 3 year requests.But 3 years would not be unusual or particularly onerous.
They are asking for bank statements, brokerage statements, and tax returns. I am working on settling out of court at the present time. What I am trying to find is the point where I can put my foot down and refuse to provide any more statements. Are there any rules that restrict such requests beyond a certain date in the past?Depending on the specifics of what they are asking for. I have seen some incredibly onerous 3 year requests.
No.They are asking for bank statements, brokerage statements, and tax returns. I am working on settling out of court at the present time.

I agree that those items are not particularly onerous to provide.No.
And bank statements, brokerage statements and tax returns for 3 years is not a particularly onerous request.
Your attorney can object and state that the history is not relevant, but he might lose that argument and if he does, putting your foot down might earn you a contempt charge.
I can think of one way it could be very pertinant. If the brokerage fund was much lower now than it was three years ago, due to the crash, then the documents would demonstrate that it was due to the crash, rather than due to any money being withdrawn from the brokerage account.some things going back 3 years can be irrelevant. Think about the market crash from 3 years ago - how much of it really pertains to now?
