Question Regarding Tax Rebate Check Coming in the Mail Soon
I have a question regarding the tax rebate check coming soon in the mail. My divorce was final in March of this year and in our paperwork it was stated that for our federal and state income tax refund we had to split it in half. I filed the federal and state tax returns and had the refunds direct deposited into my checking account (my ex said that would be fine), and then I wrote him a check for 1/2 of those refunds. Nothing was stated in the paperwork about this rebate check. My ex has been calling me this past week, because he's money hungry of course and he never calls to relay any information with regards to the kids, but he's the first to call when it comes to money!! Anyways, he's been calling to ask me how we are handling the rebate check and if the check comes to me or they send two separate checks to us. Well the government doesn't know we are divorced now because we filed jointly for 2007 taxes, so my understanding is that since the refunds were direct deposited into my account, this rebate check will also be direct deposited. My question is this, do I owe him anything from this rebate check since it wasn't stated in our paperwork? Or do I just owe him his portion, since I have custody of both my boys? I don't feel he should get half of it and I also don't feel he should get any of it because I'm left in the house that I can't afford and trying to sell it (the house is in his name by the way!!), while he's at his apartment living with his tramp that he's been cheating on me with for quite some time, so I don't feel I owe him anything at this point. But I also don't want to tick him off because then later on down the line, when he owes me for 1/2 of the kids medical not covered by insurance, he may not want to pay up then. Even though that is in our paperwork (about the kids medical). Not sure what to do!?

Tell me about it!! I thought I had the only ex out there who only thought about money! That's all he cares about and he threw a fit once he heard what he was going to have to pay in child support!! Hellooooo that money goes to supporting your kids that you aren't around here anymore raising, it's me raising them all by myself while he's off screwing around with his tramp that he met at work and by the way I hope she cheats on him like she cheated on her husband with him!!! My ex is a selfish self centered the world only revolves around him type of person!! Sounds like his tramp is the same way so they basically deserve each other!! He makes twice as much as I do and he claims he's hurting for money--whatever. He has no clue what hurting for money is really like!! But my hope is that he'll spend himself so far into debt that he won't be able to dig himself out, and by the way he's on his way doing that right now. He's already raked up a $9,900 credit card bill so far and he only owed $1,000 on it when he moved out at the end of December, 2007. So he's good at spending that's for sure. When we were married I used to question his spending because I worried about the checkbook and paying bills and his comment always would be --I make the money so I sure as hell can spend it the way I want!! What a dumba**!! Oh well not my worry anymore, it's his tramps worry to deal with now!! :)

You know I feel the same way. I should keep it, because I have custody of my sons and in our court papers it says (and he agreed to this) from now on I get to claim the kids on my taxes (because I don't make much money he makes twice as much as I do), and I get to claim both boys until the oldest is emancipated then we alternate the younger son. We filed our taxes joint in 2007 because we were still married and didn't get divorced until March 2008 so I feel I should be able to keep it and screw him! I'm still at the house trying to sell it and he's not helping out with any of my expenses here, and the thing is his girlfriend has been living with him since March 30 (had to find this out from my boys because he didn't have the you know whats to tell me!!) she also works were he does so she makes really good money to, so they both have high incomes together, so again screw him--I'm sure she's helping him out with the bills but who the heck is helping me--no one!!!! I don't think he'll come back on me about this and hire himself an attorney and fight it because it wouldn't be worth it to hire an attorney for a portion of this rebate check. I keep going back and forth about it, because I want to make sure he pays half of the unpaid medical expenses like the papers say to do. Actually he's been in contempt of court regarding visitation since we separated in December 2007 because he hasn't had the boys a full weekend so far and this is May already. Oh he says it will start next weekend, we'll see about that, he'll change his mind because he has his priorities messed up right now! Too busy with his tramp.
