All was not agreed. There was apparently no agreement as to how much each of your earned, and even if there was, no
child support order can be entered in CA unless both parties submit a current I&E declaration two most recent paychecks, and copies of the prior year's Federal and State
income tax returns.
If you are self-employed then the other parent is entitled to a current profit and loss statement. Bottom line is that if you are being asked for a ton of financial documents, then you must produce them, unless they are not relevant to proving your income for the purposes of calculating guideline support.
