OPINION

FABE, Justice.

I. INTRODUCTION

Lee Lawson appeals a superior court order denying his request to modify his child support obligation. Lee challenges the constitutionality of Alaska Civil Rule 90.3 on the grounds that: (1) this court lacks the authority to create a child support rule; (2) Rule 90.3 is vague and overbroad; and (3) Rule 90.3’s financial disclosure requirements violate his rights to due process and privacy and his right against self-incrimination. We affirm the decision of the superior court and hold that Rule 90.3 is constitutional.
