A: You still need to report your actual income on your Sworn Financial Statement. You are also supposed to exchange 3 years of tax returns. If you have not filed taxes, you are supposed to provide the information that would have been on the return. The court is not going to order counseling if one party does not want to do it. You may be eligible for maintenance (alimony) depending on your spouse's income.
