1. “Subsequently, the wife also moved to set aside the settlement agreement, based in part on eonclusory allegations that the husband’s disclosure of his income on his financial affidavit was “fraudulent.” She now takes the position that the discovery previously sought is necessary for her to litigate this motion. Whether the trial court departed in ordering that discovery is the issue presented by the instant petition. While personal financial information is fully discoverable when relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, it may cause irreparable harm to a person who is forced to disclose it when the information is not relevant. Under the circumstances of this case, we agree with the husband’s position that he should not be compelled to produce the discovery requested by the wife unless and until the court first determines the validity of the parties’ settlement agreement. Although in this case the wife claims the agreement was procured by fraud or misrepresentation by the husband, the record before this court does not demonstrate that she pleaded such with specificity. Unless and until the trial court invalidates the parties’ marital settlement agreement, the husband’s private financial information should remain private.”
