Re: child support
If it is a discovery request that is part of an ongoing suit, probably, but only the father's income can be used to determine child support.
Re: child support
Based on what you have written, tax information is an item which is discoverable through the Texas Civil Procedure Rules. You should remember that the only income which may be considered by the Court for calculating child support would be the ex-husband's.
