My ex-spouse and I live in Sioux Falls. I am trying to modify our current child support order. However, she refuses to give me her current financial information. What can I do?

In South Dakota, if a parent in a child support modification proceeding fails to furnish income or other financial information, the parent is in default, and that parent's income for determining child support is computed at a rate not less than the most recent annual pay standard as reported by the Department of Labor and Regulation.
