Court Mandated Tax Returns

Summary

If your ex does not supply court-mandated tax returns, the court may hold them in contempt, impose fines, or modify support orders. The court can request a copy of the latest tax return filed with the IRS through a court order or subpoena. To obtain your exs tax returns directly from the IRS, you can file a subpoena duces tecum. This involves drafting the subpoena, filing it with the court, and serving it to the IRS. Consider seeking legal advice for detailed guidance on this process.
