The respondent mother brought a motion for financial disclosure from the applicant father and non-party corporations to determine the father's income for child support purposes.
The father, who is self-employed through a numbered company that owns 50% of another corporation, opposed the motion along with the non-party co-owner, arguing the request was disproportionate and sought confidential information.
The court granted the motion, ordering extensive corporate and personal financial disclosure, finding it necessary to determine the father's true income.
The court declined to issue a sealing order for the corporate documents, finding a confidentiality agreement and redactions sufficient, but ordered a limited publication ban to protect the children's identities.
