(2) The names of persons who witnessed the incident(s).

(3) Police, government agency or court records or files.

(4) Documentation from a domestic abuse program.

(5) Documentation from legal, clerical, medical, or other professionals from whom the custodial party or noncustodial parent sought assistance in dealing with domestic abuse or child abuse.

(6) Physical evidence of abuse.

(7) A statement from another individual with knowledge of the circumstances that provide the basis for the claim of abuse.

(8) Protective orders issued.

(9) Any other evidence that supports the incident(s) of domestic violence or child abuse.

(b) If form 2142 is returned with the first box in Section III marked indicating the party is requesting nondisclosure of identifying information, but no detailed family violence information is provided in Section II of the form, a local child support shall mail both of the following to the party that submitted the incomplete form 2142:

(1) A new blank form 2142.

(2) A domestic violence cover letter #2, "DVCVR #2," CSS 2144, dated (09/01/01), incorporated by reference herein.
