Q: Mom makes more money than dad, she does not want to disclose financials. Can they negotiate legal child support
Mother is custodian, father wants visitation. Working on legal parenting plan. A lot of friction
A: As part of a child custody process in court, both parties need to disclose their financial information in court filings. See: https://www.courts.wa.gov/forms/?fa=forms.contribute&formID=13. You might be able to negotiate a resolution to expedite the court proceedings as well. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue.
