I would suggest that you make a written request to the Trustee. Send with that request a financial statement showing your assets and liabilities along with a summary of your income and expenses. If you substantiate your "need" then the Trustee should comply with your request. If the Trustee fails to comply with your request, you should speak to the Trustee and if you still do not get the support you need, it would then be time to retain an attorney to file a lawsuit.
