respondent by mail a NOTICE IN LIEU OF SUBPOENA TO COMPEL ATTENDANCE BEFORE THE COURT AND TO BRING BOOKS, DOCUMENTS, AND OTHER THINGS for the hearing set November 7, 2012. The tacit agreement was sealed by the respondents documented full compliance with the discovery request. The above notice to compel disclosure by the petitioner was for a hearing set specifically for issues of adjustment for support requested by the petitioner in relief to the request for motion by the respondent which included a request for an award of attorney fees. These are the very same circumstances under which the respondent is requesting an order to compel in advance of the August 26, 2013 hearing on the respondents request for attorney fees and the petitioner seeking relief by a downward adjustment to his support obligation. The respondent contends that equity of circumstance and the prior agreement to re-open discovery through petitioners request and the respondents performance represents good cause to grant the motion to compel. Good Cause #4: The respondents FIRST SET OF OF SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES and DEMAND FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS SET NUMBER ONE to the petitioner were motivated by the pattern of chronic avoidance of required update and augmentation to discovery required by Family Code 2102 and 720-721. The petitioner has submitted Income and Expense Declarations that have contained false and inaccurate information and omitted required information. The petitioner and petitioners counsel have refused to respond to letters and emails by the respondent and respondents counsel seeking specific updates on community business inventory, community real property, community business partnerships, community tax obligations, community pension plan and spousal and child support payments. The petitioner has failed to submit required documentation for disclosure as requested and required by the court. The petitioner has provided the respondent with a Trial Brief and Final Disclosure that misstate facts and omit required information and documentation to support claims. Specifically, the respondent sets forth the following examples of a refusal, incomplete and/or inaccurate disclosure by the petitioner: (1) Petitioners Preliminary Disclosure (EXHIBIT F) ________________________________________________________________

The petitioners Preliminary Disclosure indicates an IRS 2009 Tax Debt of only $58,806.00 as of 4/27/2011 - three months prior to separation. Subsequent IRS statements indicate the 2009 IRS tax debt was closer to $45,000.00 at the time it was paid on April 29, 2013.
