Text: Katharine alleges that Primus is withholding information which she needs in order to correct her Social Security wage record. This information may be helpful for a determination of whether or not a change in circumstances has occurred which would justify a modification of the award of spousal support. Therefore, we conclude that the district court should have allowed Katharine to use the discovery process to obtain access to any Social Security records which Primus has in his possession which pertain to Katharine. We reverse the district court's denial of Katharine's motion for discovery and remand for further proceedings. For the reasons stated in the opinion, the district court's order is affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded to the district court. ERICKSTAD, C.J., and PEDERSON, and VANDE WALLE, JJ., concur. Justice PAUL M. SAND, who died on December 8, 1984, was a member of this Court at the time this case was submitted.
