Q: I am in the middle of a child support case the other opposing counsel has submitted petitioners tax return and bank stat
statements, with pay stubs, how can I submit my bank statements and pay stubs with the court so that it is not get made public and I am following the rules and regulations of submitting disclosures before mediation. I have already submitted a sworn financial statement and a certification of compliance of mandatory disclosures.
A:
If you are talking about the mandatory financial disclosures under Colorado Rule of Civil Procedure 16.2 (the ones you have to disclose per Form 35.1), then you do not actually file the bank statements and pay stubs with the Court. What you do is you provide the bank statements and the pay stubs to the other side. Then you file a certificate with the Court (see standard Colorado court form JDF 1104) that certifies that you provided all of the documents required by C.R.C.P. 16.2 and Form 35.1 to the other side.
You do not actually file the financial documents with the Court (other than the Sworn Financial Statement - you do file that with the Court). You file the CERTIFICATE with the court that says you provided the required financial documents to the other side.
Note: Keep a record of every financial document you provided to the other side so you can prove that you provided the documents. One good way to do this is to send the documents by email, as attachments, and then print out the email to prove what you sent, who you sent it to, and when you sent it.
