Can my husband who I have been not legally separated ask request my tax forms with court order?
My husband and I have been separated for
3 years and for the last 2 he has asked
me for tax return. He resently asked
again and I dont know for what he is
using it for and I declined. He came
back at my with if you dont give them to
me nicely it will be by force and he
will get an order from a judge since we
are still married. Can he do that is
there any way I can stop him? We live in
California and he is military.

He can get a court order for this material if there is a court case pending in which the information may be relevant (e.g. he files for divorce, in which case each spouse's income and assets are relevant to support and the division of property) and he applies for the order in that court case. Courts can order the release or production of relevant information in cases before them.
