Does my ex-spousehave the right todemand contact information for my church leaders?

I have been divorced for years and have physical custody of our child; we share joint legal custody. As a result I have to deal with my ex-spouse (a CA lawyer) more often than I would like. About a year ago I joined a new church and my ex-spouse is demanding the telephone numbers and names of my new church leaders. Does my ex have any right to that information at all?

1) If there is a term or provision in your divorce agreement, settlement, order, etc. which gives her or him the right to contact information for certain people or classes of people, or for certain groups or under certain circumstances, you'd have to obey that term or provision.

2) If there is no provision to this effect in the agreement, settlement, or order, then the ex-spouse may certainly ask for them, but you don't need to provide the information unless and until the ex-spouse brings some legal proceeding against you and uses court process (e.g. discovery, such as Interrogatories, depositions, subpoenas) to try and get them. At that point, in a lawsuit, unless your own attorney could and did object on some valid ground, if the information is at all relevant or germane, the ex-spouse could get it.
