What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
Soon, I'll be ordered to pay child support to my ex, going retro-active to the date he filed a motion to change custody and parenting time. I'm coming to grips with accepting there is nothing I can do to change that and am preparing my finances so that I'll be able to have an appropriate amount of money set aside at the time judgment is ordered.
My question is this: My attorney has now sent two requests to Ex's attorney, requesting Production of Documents. The first request was disputed by ex's attorney, citing there was not enough time provided (less than 30 days) before the parenting time hearing. Okay - fine. That was three months ago now. In October, my attorney sent a second request; this time, stating documents need to be returned in 14 days (since we are well past the original 30 days of the first request.) Still no response.
Some of the documents requested were related to gift income (from parents), gambling winnings/losses and any income earned over the past five years as a "business consultant."
If ex plans on collecting child support from me, what advantage could he possibly have by refusing to provide standard financial information? Without this information, how is anyone supposed to know how to calculate child support?
I'm very confused by these tactics and wonder if there's some kind of advantage in strategy on ex's part.
Thanks for any ideas...
