Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
child support motion for contempt
My ex-wife has filed a motion for contempt with superior court listing back child support and counsel fees. The ''papers'' were served and a hearing date established. I received a letter from her attorney requesting a ''Personal Financial Statement'' be completed and brought to the hearing. Is this something that is legally required? If so, why? Thank you for your time.

Re: child support motion for contempt
There's a form called a Financial Affidavit (you can get it on line on the CT state website) which details your financial picture. If indeed you are behind in child support, and if your reason is, for example, that you've been out of work or your new job pays half of what you were earning last time you were in court, the judge will need the Affidavits from then and now to compare. So, yes, it is required.
