Booger Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Husband owes back child support. If he files separately from wife, the only amount taken will be from his refund, not the wife's, correct? Didn't know if each state is different (back support owed to Nebraska).

jainen Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 >>If he files separately from wife, the only amount taken will be from his refund<< Why don't people support their kids? And who would marry someone who won't support his kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booger Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 GOOD QUESTION, jainen. However, that is beyond my scope....just trying to retrieve the maximum refund for my client (in this case, the current wife's share of the refund). Last year, had to file an injured spouse return for them, since filing jointly maximized their refund. This year, separately is better.

And who would marry someone who won't support his kids? DItto!!! Those people are a slap in the face for those of us who paid our child support (and always spent more on the kids when needed) on time for 10 years. My kids, My responsibility.
