Question: "do I really have to give the other side my tax returns, records for my business and copies of my bank account statements?"
Answer: Most likely - yes. Disclosure in family law is virtually a foregone conclusion. I say "virtually" because there are some requests (for example, whether or not a party to a family law case needs to produce their new spouse's financial information) which are arguable before a family Court. Overall, however, a party to a family law case should be prepared to make broad, thorough and ongoing disclosure. Legislation and case law provide for it and family Courts expect it. It is fundamental to assessing and addressing family law claims.
