Is this Legal.... in a Court Order

So I have been getting a bit of anxiety lately I have no idea why but now it makes sense....I always get sick-physically, whenever BM is somehow in our lives.
SO gets his Final Court Order from BMS lawyer in the mail today and in it it says:
"The respondent Father will produce his Income Tax Return and Notice of Assessment and that of his spouse(even though we are not married and in a Common Law Type Relationship) no later than June 1st each year."

Isnt that against my Human Rights to have to give her any financial information about myself?, I had to give so much to her in court in November 14' and I REFUSE to do so going forward....she has no right to my information...shes a fucking bitch. I stay the fuck out of his involvement with her and his kids(who only see him as a wallet).

I know that it is court ordered by a Judge and idiot SO didn't have his glasses and signed the agreement(without reading it) in negotiations to lower CS and it was granted-since we are having a baby in about a month.

I know what my alternative is, I dont even like typing it out here on the screen but is to separate on paper until CS ends.

But I am just wondering is it legal for me to have to give her my Tax Return Info each year? I have a feeling it does go against a violation of some sort of rights...maybe I am wrong...couldn't afford a lawyer but I am seriously thinking of hiring a lawyer and getting myself out of providing any information to her...if the "alternative" doesn't work...thanks for reading.

Right now I cannot afford legal representation as I am on Sick Leave then will be on Maternity Benefits...but yes I should consult with a lawyer, i know there are free services for a half hour...should do that, but yes he shouldnt have signed that for me...i wasnt there...thats what I was thinking.-exactly, how is that fair? Its not- this was done in November.

Hi- yes it is a final court order.
My SO could not afford a lawyer and makes too much to qualify for legal aid, hes in the middle- he got his CS reduced because of our new baby coming,as it makes a difference in the amount of income he has to spare...he claimed undue hardship.
And yes, common law in canada=spouse, it can be as short as 3 months-even to file taxes together.
Her lawyer is a real shchister...it doesnt explicitly say my name in the court order, but I am referred to as "spouse".

Exactly. It says the income of a spouse. You aren't married, therefore you are not his spouse.

Ignore it and submit only his. Smack him upside the head for being so fucking stupid as to signing something he did not read or understand!!!! Why do these men do this?

That is the plan- he forewarned her lawyer I wouldnt provide it after we saw the draft of the order, this is a final order...well not until BM complains about something.

Unfortunately, a Step Dad(more common than Step Mom) can be forced to pay CS for a child that he helped raise for I believe 3 Years or more(if he splits up with a BM) and the BM can collect CS from both the biological father and the step father at the same time(you dont even need to be married to the Step Father)- these are our laws in Canada.
Didnt think that was true until I read it online in the ministry.
BM is a nosey bitch and was pissed off that she lost her fictitious claims for back CS and she ended up getting less support- so she wants to demonstrate that I am making A LOT of money...totally untrue just graduated university in that process became pregnant and was working at a donut shop lol-sounds like the life of luxury to me lol.

How in the world can you be forced to do something you never agreed to? I can see how DH is forced to, but you signed nothing and so are bound by nothing.

I have said that from the beginning pretty sure- I know what I am going to do now.

Thank you Stacey- I have read that before.
Im not worried about the above so much as disclosing my financial info and them imputing my income into CS.
Unfortunately, SO doesnt see his kids? Why? -they're PAS'd and they dont really want to see him, he reaches out but receives minimal sincerity- they are 15 & 17 now- so i get there at an age where dad aint cool to go to anymore and more importantly see him as a wallet. I have majorly disengaged from the situation except when it comes to tax time....

Lol yes- it should.
"Your Honour, in all honesty I hate his kids".
I used to like them but they have shown little interest in the baby(perhaps its their age), became weird after their mother took SO to court. For example, SO had to pick up my daughter from School he was talking to SD on the phone-she didnt know I was in the car as well and said, "Oh you have to do that"...i spent my OSAP money on taking them on vacation lol- wont be doing that again.

I really am sorry about the name- usually in the past she has responded to me...but thank you for the advice!

I am not from Canada but I cannot see where someone else's court order can compel you to do anything, especially since you haven't entered into marriage. I'd make her take me to court.

Yeah, I highly doubt that a person can sign a document compelling another person who was not originally in the document to do something without that person's consent.
