income taxe forms and child support

Maybe. She has no right to see his 1040 under Federal law, but what the state court will compel from him is up to the state court.

It would also depend on what is in the divorce decree. There might be a clause that allows a periodic adjustment of child support based on 1040 income level. No one can answer this legal question without reading that document.

Child support orders can normally be reviewed every three years or sooner if there is a "change of circumstances." Normally, both parties' tax returns are presented as part of the review.

If so, she gets the copy from the ex, not from you, unless your client approves you sending her a copy of his return.

I answered this on misc.legal.moderated.

Yes she can ask to see the complete 1040. In OK there is no three year waiting period. That would be Missouri, other posters. Child support can be changed because of "changed circumstances" such as the Ex found out you sold stocks or got a management bonus without telling her and paying support on such money. Or she got a raise, whatever. Not a lawyer or accountant - just have friends either paying or receiving child support. Bird Brain
