I recently received a request by my ex-wife for a copy of my tax return that I am filing this year. To the best of my knowledge, the marital settlement agreement does not contain a stipulation stating that, if one party makes a request to the other party for a copy of tax returns, the other party is obligated to provide it. I don't see anything in the state of Wisconsin regarding this except if the court orders it (Chapter 767). I don't know why the request was made, and don't believe she would provide me with any reason to the request, but I suspect there could be several reasons including verification of my income, or to satisfy her curiosity to see how much money is coming into my household now that I have remarried. I am currently paying at a percentage rate so she wouldn't be able to get more, but do have back support that I am currently working on paying off.
Am I obligated to provide her a copy of this? Or, does she have to get it court ordered?
