Q: Hello, So here is my question. I am going on 15 months of a supplemental petition for modification.
I am trying to lower the amount of support I pay due to change of job and income level. I filed the modification and my ex had not met mandatory disclosure. I filed a motion to compel which was granted. I still did not receive anything so I filed a motion to issue sanctions to find her in contempt and the court found her in contempt and gave my ex 30 days to meet mandatory disclosure. At this point I am not sure where to go from here. Should I schedule a final hearing and ask the court to disregard the information that she is missing from mandatory disclosure or should I file another motion asking something else. I am frustrated and don't know where to go from here. Will the judge allow the modification to finalize even though my ex has not met mandatory disclosure.
A: You should try to subpoena the records you are looking for from her bank or employer. Since she is still refusing to produce the mandatory documents, you should ask that she be incarcerated until she provides the documents (since she is in contempt for not producing the documents).
