Legal Question in Family Law in California

spousal support

My ex and I are returning to court to let the judge know of our employment to make a determination on the amount of support I should pay.I don't want the ex to know where I work and I'm hoping all her and her lawyer need to know are just my wages.Her lawyer told me ''Let my office know when you get a job''.Do they have to know all my business? I don't want her to know where I work.please help.thank you

Re: spousal support

If support is at issue in your family law case, you and your spouse will each have to complete an Income & Expense Declaration. This form requires details about your employer, income and expenses. Bottom line: you and your spouse have no private financial information in your famly law case.

Re: spousal support

Ms MacDowell is correct. There is one exception to this that I comes to mind. That would be if she harassed you at work. Then you could request a court order that your employment information be kept confidential. As a prelude to getting this order you may need to get a restraining order against her.
