You filed injured spouse, but that only goes to the IRS, not the state, which is apparently who is taking your money. You must fill out an innocent spouse form for Illinois, at the sites below.

That a diffent NO.\n\nAccording to the Internal Revenue Code, the parent who pays for more than 50% of the children's expenses (including the children's portion of rent or mortgage, utilities, household food, car gas for transportation, etc.) gets to claim the children as a tax exemption. This is usually the parent with whom the children live more than one-half the year. With that said, under New Mexico domestic relations law, the parents are free to negotiate how to allocate the tax exemptions for children. Keep in mind that child support amounts presume that the parent receiving child support also claims the children as a tax exemption; thus, if you receive child support and you give up the exemptions, you should really be getting more in monthly child support. Also, getting the tax exemptions assumes the receiving parent is working full-time and getting the maximum benefit from the tax exemptions.

That sounds like a state refund you got last year.\nIn California, if you got a state refund in 2004 you must report it as income in your federal income tax for 2005.\nThere are exemptions like if you itemized last year and you don't this year.\nConsult your tax professional.

Child support is neither deductable nor considered taxable income.  \n\nIf you pay - you cant deduct\nIf you recieve - you dont count it as income\n\nIf you are smart you have take the deduction(s) for the kid at least every other year.

They have new rules for that now.\n\nCheck with a lawyer.

It varies from state to state, and I would recommend consulting with an attorney, but yes, the household income can determine the amount that can garnish from his wages, they usually don't garnish the non-parents income. Hold on, it's about to get bumpy.

First off yes you can only if she has not claimed him on her taxes because the child can only be claimed once on a tax form because they go by their social security number, Next if she has not claimed the child then you have to have supported the child 51% of his clothing, schooling, eats, housing and care in general. If this is the case then yes you should be able to claim the both of them only if she is not filing and claiming the child herself. Also the child tax credit is only 800.00 this year instead of 1,000.00 like in 2005. Well I hope that this info has helped you and if you need more info her is the web site to the internal revenue service.\nwww.irs.gov

Actually I Knew a couple personally who divorced and had a little boy. After I think it was 1 year or a bit more the man moved back. For whatever reason they lived together (but they didn't remarry) They were quite content as things were. He was still paying his child support and had no problems with that. Nor did she. Too them they said it was like a bank account that he was responsible for and it was just for their daughter. So while he still payed the child support it was all going into this savings account that just had his wife and daughters name on it. Sometimes they used the money for birthdays or doctor's bills. But he said it was helping him focus on the fact that those child support payments were going directly to that account and in essence that account would be used for her colleage education.  So they just lived with that arrangement. But it was their choice and they made it work. (It's been 7 years and they are still doing the same thing).

I most cases this depends on a few things ( the state you live in, your judge, age of your child, date of when he filed for vists) I know in Michigan the father is responable for all of this. My ex has to pay for everything when our son was born.

If you have children and u left him with the children, he can go to family court and get and a temporary  order( pendente lite) for you  to contribute now. Otherwise,When and if u r divorced, the settlement will reflect this. If the note on the house is more than the house can be sold for and there are not other offsetting assets ( pensions, cars, IRA's, Householfd furnishings etc.) he could potentially get a judgement against you for half of the difference.

You should probably contact the Child Support Agency for further information if your husband has agreed maintenance payments with them.  FSee below for the link.

lol, I'm with Teri. I would say contact a tax professional in the state that he will be filing and they should have those answers, as state tax laws vary state to state. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. :)

I say the money is yours and your husband's to do with what you wish.  If the house and payments are in his name, he is accepting the full risk in the case of default on the house.  Basically, your mother-in-law could stop paying and you would have no recourse.  I say that this added "risk" to you and your husband is due back to you in the form of a higher return.  Legally, your mother-in-law has no claim to that refund.  But if you both decide that she is entitled to some of the money, then that's great.

Yeah, these people are right.  If the money has been paid to family court already, it will stay on your account and go towards any future balance.\n\nIf they garnished your income tax check, though, you will receive a refund.  It may take several weeks.  But not if it is part of a regular paycheck garnishment.

I think if he has been ordered to pay child support some type of parternity must have been established.  He can go to court and stop you from moving out of state.  I would contact an attorney and talk them about this.  Good luck!

Marsh, with child support it goes strictly on his income. If he has lost some of his income since the order was first in effect he can ask for a lower amount. Yes, having a child in his home, as long as it is his, also counts for him. He will just have to talk to them and ask for a lower amount due to having a child now with you. It will not make a difference though if his income has went up.

Under California law it does not matter how long you have been together regarding child support. It depends on how much each of you make and who gets custody. If you are the primary care giver, your child support is going to be paid according to how much time your ex-spouse spends with the kids. Also unless he adopted the child that is not the spouses biological child he does not have to pay any thing for the one child. As far as alimony goes once again it depends on income but since you have been married for 9 years you will only get it for four and a half years. The calculations are different from county to county as are some of the laws.
