Child support

Jurisdiction

Louisiana

My ex wife is taking me back to court to adjust child support. I gave my lawyer the last 3 years of my tax returns and she gave them to my ex wife's lawyer. My ex wife's lawyer gave her a copy of the last 3 years of my tax returns with me, my wife and her 2 kids SSN on them. Is that normal?

I suspect its accepted practices for the court.

You DO have a lawyer.

I suggest you discuss any concerns you have with YOUR lawyer, and ONLY YOUR lawyer.
