Sticking your head in the sand on taxes will come back to bite you in the but.

I think IRS goes with who files first. Then the screwed party has the expense to lawyer up.

I have the W2s and tax/interest statments. SHE has only her W2.
I agree you can't fend of the IRS. What I meant is she can file separately or not. It has gotten to the MOX-NIX point.

I have not posted in awhile -- needed to take a break. Anyway, my backbone showed up a few weeks ago and my brain arrived unannounced about a week ago. It took me 4 months to move from disbelief to RESOLVE -- note I did not type anger. I decided to uncurl, get up off the couch, and take charge of my life. I decided to focus on the important things in my life (my health, my relationship with my children, and my current pending legal issue (D)). It is amazing how sloppy the lawyer-prepared paperwork is. So, I carefully read each document, noted numberous glaring errors, and directed the attorney to take action to straighten things out. I have to live the rest of my life with the decisions put to paper.

I decided I no longer care what WW does, plans to do, or may do. I decided I no longer envision a future which includes WW. I can not live with someone who is immoral, lies, drinks, cheats etc. I decided to like me and have strung 4 normal days together. I determined I am a normal person and deserve to feel normal -- first time in a decade.

I pretty much know where my freight train is headed. And, that is okay with me, no regrets. I will continue to post when the mood hits. I have reviewed the posts on this thread and am shocked at the cr*p I put up with. The suggestions offered by many of you were great and I incorporated or acted on many.

1. Court dates fast approaching. WW has not provided any requested information nor complied with Court order. I can't get my attorney to file Contempt paperwork. I can't get my attorney to do much except send $30 letters to other attorney rehashing old issues.

2. My doctor called me in for a follow up. I had an STD test done thanks to WW. He told me I tested postive for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. IV drug users get hep C -- that's not me. Multiple sex partner people get hep C -- not me either. I know exactly who gave this to me -- it is a serious life threatening disease. Another round of tests to confirm the obvious and then off for a life time of pills and treatment. And, that's all she wrote.

I am so sorry..........

Fitzge, I have no words to describe how absolutely horrible I feel for you right now.

Trial dates? Have they told you why they won't file the contempt paperwork? Maybe your attorney gave her an extension that you don't know about?


Ask your attorney if you can sue her in a separate cause of action for this. I just posted an article about a Texas firm that is willing to sue on behalf of betrayed spouses who are "gifted" with an STD. I don't know what state you're in, but this could be the next bandwagon for attorneys.

I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

To the folks above -- thanks for the words. I don't look forward to dealing with doctors forever. Plus, you tell someone you've got Hep C and they look at you like you're dirt.

I'll deal with this like any other problem and do what the doctors say.


I am slowly but surely getting through to the lawyer that I am serious about Contempt of Court Action. Fortunately, I've kept a copy of every letter or email provided to the attorney. She either gets off dead six or I get another one.

Are you going to file assault charges on your wife? You should.
