Mother appealed, arguing, among other things, that the circuit court abused its discretion in granting Father’s objection to discovery requests regarding his financial condition, income, and assets. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the circuit court abused its discretion in granting Father’s objection to Mother’s discovery request. Remanded with instructions for the circuit court to reconsider Mother’s request in light of her argument that the discovery request was relevant to the issue of child support.
