You could call your local Child Support Enforcement Agency.  We are going through that also.

You may be out of luck, but in some states you can get a filing fee reduction or waiver if you fill out the right paperwork. Some states require a certain time period of waiting along with running advertisements in the local and last known address newspapers when the other party is absent. If he knows where she is and the divorce is uncontested and no children are involved, he can look in the classifieds or thrifty nickel papers, I've seen "divorce experts" advertise in there for like $300 plus filing fees.

They work, sometimes.  They require more than a good lawyer as you have to PROVE hardship because of the separation.  I emphasize 'prove' because just arguing financial or mental stress will not help at all.  A sympathetic agent is the best you can hope for.\nAlso, if your husband was illegal for less than 12 months he is only excluded for 3 years; in that case it might be easier to just wait it out.  I highly recommend this option as ridiculous as it sounds but when you add up the length of time it takes to get paperwork ready-filed-confirmed-approved/denied, the frustration and the expense... it might be worth to just wait. \nWhen you submit the I-212, make sure you include LOTS of supporting documentation, including a psychological evaluation if possible.

You only need him to sign if it's a divorce by consent.  If he won't agree, then you have to sue him, take it to court and let the judge sign the divorce papers and property settlement orders.

first you need to find out if it is legal to run an add in a paper letting the person know youre divorcing him. cuz in some states you can get in touch with someone and they will run an add in the paper and your spouse will have a certain amount of time to answer,if he does not answer, your granted the divorce, so ask the court house or talk to a lawyer. good luck

Dear Friend,\n\nIt's time to consider filing for bankruptcy.  Your ex is broke, and there's no way the state can be held liable.  Sorry, that's the bottom line.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

Why?  Are you two reconciling?  If you both agreed that you are not going through with the divorce, then there is nothing that needs to be done.  \n\nAs long as he doesn't file a Response and you don't file a request for Judgment...then it's just a Petition for Divorce.

Go to court.  If your wife is healthy and able to work you have a good chance of getting the amount you pay significantly lowered.  These are different times.  As a matter of fact my ex and I have joint custody but I pay him.  Because I am capable to work.  Even when I wasn't currently employed.

Why not call a tax attorney (some offer a free first consultation).  Find out from him/her what you need to do, how to handle it and what can happen to your fiance if he gets caught.\n\nMany times, a tax attorney can work out a deal with the IRS where you only pay a fraction of what you owe.  As I see it, contacting an attorney, even if you have to pay, is probably the best way to go.

First of all, H & R Block makes lots of mistakes, so be careful and double check anything they tell you.  Even the IRS gives out bad answers, so always get a second opinion on anything that is questionable.\n\nIf your divorce decree spells it out, then you are the one who gets to claim him.  Your husband will get in trouble with the IRS, not you, even if it does inconvenience you by having them audit your return.  But if your divorce decree doesn't specifiy who gets to claim him, then who ever provides over half of his support during the year is allowed to claim him.  Support means housing, food, clothing, medical care, educational costs.  You should keep track of those expenses.  Does your ex pay child support?  If your son lived with him for 7 months or he paid child support for a year, then he could be allowed to claim him as a dependent, assuming the divorce decree does not specify which parent gets to claim your son.\n\nMy advice is in the future when you are sending in your tax return attach a copy of the divorce decree, highlighting the area where it says you are the one allowed the deduction.  You will have to file by mail, but it could answer any questions the IRS has and won't delay the return as long as it would should they have to request the info from you.

The child must live with you, in the US, for more than half the year. Period, no exceptions. It is possible for the non-custodial parent to claim the exemption for the child, and some of the other child-related credits, but not the EIC. \n\nIt is possible that the mother could claim the child's exemption in order to get more money back, but your husband will have to provide her with a Form 8332 - Release to Claim Exemption. It's a simple form, stating that he is not going to claim the exemption and that she may. No calculations, just names and signatures. \nI commend you for wanting to help her out. I have no idea what your financial situation is, but would it be possible for you to loan her the money that she would have otherwise gotten with the EIC, and then recoup your money when you file? Or purchase small gifts that she can give them? I'd be careful with that kind of thing, though. You'd kind of be enabling her behavior. Perhaps going a couple years without being able to do things like that will shock her into getting off her ass and cleaning up her act. My ex-husband's mom provides him with money to do things for the kids, and he continues to act like a teenager with no responsibilities. I contend that if she would cut him off, he'd be forced to face the cold reality and start acting like a grown-up. Either that, or drift off and be a bum. No matter what, the kids know that you (and I) are always there and will be a stable place for them, and that's what's important. They may love their mother, but they will eventually know what she is. Perhaps she'll be different if she's forced to.\nHope that helps. If you need to talk, feel free to e-mail me:)

You can request a free print-out of your year 2000 - 1040 form from the IRS.  If you require copies of the attachments there is a fee.  I believe it is in the neighborhood of $40.00\n\nYou can also call the IRS and discuss your questions with an IRS representative.  You will only be entitled to ask questions about your own tax form.  So, if you filed 'married filing jointly' make sure your spouse is with you when you call.

Have her sign a quit-claim deed.  I doubt if you can get her to sign it though without some kind of compensation.  Consult your lawyer

APPLY...and, then if you are not satisfied with the answer, get in touch with an attorney or the union where the spouse worked.

You might have a hard time.  Regardless of your marital status at the time of signing you could still be what is called tenants in common.  Any two people can be tenants in common.  Go back to your original contract and read what it says.  If it names both of you and both of you agreed then you are probably tenants in common.  Each having half undivided interest.\n\nBut this also means she would be responsible for half  of anything like taxes, mortgage payments and any other expenses with the property.\n\nAbout the only claim you can make to the property would be adverse possesion in he half interest but it might be a stretch.\n\nBut after 25 years of no payment of duties it might equal her half interest anyway.\n\nI would ask for accounting and partition....but see a lawyer.

There is a form to set up a payment plan with the IRS.  Call the local IRS office and they will help you.  It is always better for you to go to them, than to ignore the situation.

Get a TAX ATTORNEY!  They legally do not have to testify AGAINST your boyfriend due to client-attorney priveledge.  He then can discuss his options of restitution with the lawyer.  The IRS will look WAY more favorably with someone trying to work with them after coming out of the woodwork.  Make the contact with the lawyer, and DOCUMENT all meetings, times, dates, and topics of meetings, etc.\nAVOID going to anyone other than an attorney specializing in Tax Law!\n\nOr, just move to a country which has a no-extradition treaty with the U.S.\n\nMake up the mind sooner than later!
