QUESTION
Does my wife have to provide her financial information to my ex wife if the account is solely in my wife’s name?
Asked on Apr 04th, 2014 on Litigation - California
More details to this question:
My ex wife and I are in court with a property dispute. She is asking for discovery 26.1 information from my current wife’s bank accounts. I am not a signer and I do not have access to the funds. This was her property/money prior to our 2010 marriage. Does she have to provide account access to my ex wife? My current wife is upset about this.

No she does not. She should get a lawyer and seek for any subpoena of these records be suppressed.

Not sure why your ex would need financials from your current; If she is not a party to the action, and your not on the account, then it sounds like the only way she could possibly get it would be through a subpoena; If that happens I would your attorney or someone representing your current wife file a motion to quash the subpoena.

Probably not, but you have to object to the request on the basis that you have no access to the accounts and your wife does not give you money.

Decision is for the Judge but generally no.

You need to retain an attorney. Because it is your wife money before the marriage and kept in an account separate from the communal funds, she should not have to produce it.

You will have to seek a protective order to block that kind of discovery.
