Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Proof Of Income

Our divorce decree (modification of) states that we are to provide the "defendant" prrof of income by April 1st of each year. We have sent her my husband's W-2's. She states we are to send the actual Tax Return. My husband and I file joint and do not feel the need to disclose my income. She is threatening a contempt charge. We have done our part according to the decree. Is she correct? or are the W-2's enough ?
