In a Mandatory Disclosure, do i have to provide bank statements that I have with my mother as i am her representative through SSI. We are on the same account.

Thank you for contacting Norman Law. Through the divorce process, both parties are required to provide financial documents, including a financial affidavit. If you believe your husband has failed to list an asset (contingent or otherwise) on his financial affidavit, you can and should list it on your financial affidavit. You should also request documentation from him regarding the asset in question and ultimately if he fails to provide the documentation, the Court may order him to do so and sanction him, as well. If you would like to discuss your case with one of our attorneys, please call our office to schedule your free consultation.

My husband and I are in the process of a divorce and he has refused to list a contingent vested asset on his financial affidavit. Is this legal?

Thank you for contacting Norman Law. If your husband has not filed his financial affidavit timely and/or has not provided the other mandatory financial documents, you will need to file a Motion to Compel and set a hearing. The Judge or Magistrate will then order him to provide the missing documents with a specified period of time. You should be able to find a sample of the Motion on flcourts.org.

I filled for dissolution of marriage with two minors. I submitted all my information, my husband has filled a counter petition, but he is not submitting his financial affidavit. What do I need to file with the court in order to make him submit his financial statements for me to see??

Thank you for contacting Norman Law. You should file a notice indicating you are responding to the notice to produce, but do not file the actual documents you are producing. Those are emailed directly to the attorney or party who sent you the notice to produce. If you have additional questions, you may want to contact the Clerk’s office for more information.

Ms. Vazquez,

Thank you for contacting Norman Law. Usually, if one party does not comply with mandatory disclosure, the other party will file a motion requesting compliance or, in some instances, the Court will do so on its own initiative. The case will not be automatically dismissed. You may want to contact the Clerk’s office to find out the status of your case or schedule a consultation with an attorney to review everything with you.
