Well it started like this. My husband was paying his child support up until a hurricane put him out of a job on November 2008. He has been out of work now for 15 months and is upset he hasn't been able to find anything. He did go to school while he was looking for a job to help him find even more jobs. He went to school for Medical Administrative Assistant) and all he has been doing is putting in resumes and applications. He sees his kids, and he picks them up from school and keep them till their mother gets off of work. It's time to file taxes and he is upset that I'm going to have to pay for his mistake of not being able to pay his child support. All the income is mines he has no income. He ordered to pay $358 a month but that kind of excessive because he keeps his kids from lunch till dinner Monday thru Friday, plus the weekends. Plus when she asks him can they spend the night. What should I do? Can they take all of my income tax if we file jointly even though he has no income? He loves his kids, and is a good father they have the kids about the same 50% with him and 50% with her.
