Can my husband refuse to give me any money from his taxes?

My husband moved out three days ago we have a 9month old daughter and he claims because he filed separated he refuses to give me any money at all from his income tax..he has supported me for two years and no claims he doesn't have to give me any...and left me with all the bills and no job...Can he do this?Can my husband refuse to give me any money from his taxes?
Yeah, he can do it. He may of left you, but you still are not legally seperated. As long as you are still married under the eyes of the law it is his choice to share his money with you or not.Can my husband refuse to give me any money from his taxes?
It depends. If he moved out 4 days ago, I'm assuming you have not gone after child support. If he is not required to pay child support then he isn't required by law to give you any of the money. Now, once you go after child support they may tell him to pay from the time you separated.





Are the bills in his name? If the bills are all in his name, then screw him. It's his credit.
He can for now but he will have to pay it all back to you later when you go to court for a divorce. Sounds to me like he is really being a jerk here. How does he expect you and the baby to eat? Go to your local social services department and ask them for legal aid. They will point you to an attorney who can get you some answers and help on how top get some support money. Oh yeah and by the way why not just go to the bank accounts and take what you need. It belongs to you to you know. Got a charge card? Hopefully it is in his name. Don't argue with him about the money, just get it by other means. Like sell something that belongs to him.





One more thing if he filed seperate, so can you even if you have no income. You can file for head of household and get money from the IRS. Do it online today. Besides if he filed seperately and claimed your daughter, you can get him caught this way. He can't claim her if he doesn't have her with him and even when he starts paying child support he can only claim the support not her.

He sounds like a prick and needs to buck-up and take care of his children. As a divorced father I felt it was always my place to take care of the children. I made all of my support payments and went above to care for them even thought I knew the money was not being spent wisely by my ex. But, yes in most states he does not have to provide any income outside any written contract/agreement. *** mildred is my friend***
He might be able to get away with it this year. so cover your azz for the future years. Get it in writing who claims what child and when. There's alot of help out there for a single mom take advantage of it....free daycare, free education. Do something with your life so no man can ever do this to you again.
Go to legal aid now find the a close one and go to centre link now and tell them your situation they will help with some money.


He has to pay for the child and they will take it out of pay if he doesn't pay but don't sit around act now.
Go after child support, and if he used your daughter as an exemption, get an attorney and report him to the IRS.
get a lawyer and file for emergency support and emergency child support
if he filed seperate then your name isnt on the money. Its his
while Mayor McCheese does not condone anyone shunning parental responsibilities, he finds your question amusing. I am curious as to how you connect him going to work and earning a paycheck to that money somehow being yours. curious indeed. because the way i am seeing it is that he went to work and earned money. he then filed a tax return based on his earnings and his earnings alone and is going to receive a refund based on what he filed. so....how is this money in any way yours? because he is your husband? that's cute. now step back into reality and take a good look. you may very well be able to take some of his money because you are married but that will only occur during divorce settlements.





and don't listen to ';inoffensive nickname';. she is clearly an idiot since telling you to notify the IRS because he claimed your child as an exemption is not wrong or illegal. the tax filing was for the fiscal year, which ends on 12/31. he was still living with you and your child at this point since you said he left just a few days ago. at that time you were one big happy family and that child was clearly a legitimate exemption that he was supporting.





things may be different now but as of the time things were filed, there was certainly no misrepresentation going on in that fashion.





you are, and should be, entitled to child support payments should you divorce him. without a divorce, i am not sure what would happen. in fact, i believe it would be extraordinarily difficult to get any money from him that you don't already have your name on. and getting child support while still married and legally bound to him would be next to impossible i would imagine.





the court may very well force backpay to you from him from the time he left, but i am not sure. perhaps not - and the payments will only start from the time of legal separation. i think it really depends on the judge and the specifics of each family.





you say you are left with all the bills. if he is just trying to run away from you and his responsibilities, check which ones your name is attached to. if, for example, your name is not on certain credit cards, then you can feel free to not pay those bills without your credit being affected. let him feel the burn too if he is just trying to screw you over.





but at the same time, don't be expecting money from him just because that's what has happened all along. he earned it. it's his. and he'll be paying child support eventually. and he may even have a nice fat bill to pay to you if the court finds he's been skipping out.
