affidavit under the debts-and-
monthly-payments category.

       On June 30, 1999, the district court held a hearing on the matter and ordered Lee
to provide the court with financial affidavits for 1996, 1997, and 1998. In its order, the
district court acknowledged Lee's statement that he and his wife do not split their
income, even though they live together, but reminded Lee that the financial affidavit
takes into account both incomes without regard to how the funds are divided. On July
12, 1999, Lee provided lengthy financial affidavits listing his wife's monthly income in
the requested years at $2,209.60, property including his wife's 1995 Honda valued at
$4000, his GMC truck valued at $600-$800, and his residence valued at $76,000, as
well as debts on the residence, on windows installed on thehome, and on a student
loan. Lee stated that, following his termination from his real estate representative
position at McDonald's Corporation in May 1996, he was unemployed until the fall of
1997, receiving approximately $4000 in unemployment compensation benefits. He
stated that he was employed as a substitute teacher in 1997 and earned $1200 per
month. He reported that he was unemployed in 1998 but earned $600 in May 1999.
He provided lists of his household's monthly expenses in 1996-1998, prepared by his
wife, as well as their annual tax returns for the requested years. He reiterated that he
lacked knowledge of his wife's finances at the time of filing the initial financial affidavit
in 1997. He previously stated in his deposition testimony that his wife takes
responsibility for preparing their income tax returns.
