Re: do I have a right to ask for...

Hi Icwal,
You can ask for such information but it doesn't mean you're going to get them. You certainly have no "rights" to it.
If he has an attorney, his attorney will advise him as to what he should or shouldn't supply to opposition, as part of discovery. Even so, he may choose not to supply it at all. You will have to flip the bill to try and make him do so and, in the end, whether he supplied the data or not may be meaningless to a judge.
His business may be important to you for two reasons:
#1) Depending on when he built the business and any contributions by you, you may be entitled to a portion of it, in the form of a payout to you. (Equitable Distribution)
#2) It dictates his income level, which would drive alimony decisions (Spousal Support)
I hope this helps.
My Best,
Frank
