I am waiting for the tax check to be mailed out on August 8th according to www.irs.govMy question is... since he has not given me child support in over 2 months (he has paid my car payment that is in both of our names as agreed to)... He is requesting that we share the refund. Is this fair? I was thinking I would use it to get school clothes for my DD. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you, Heather

Heather, if the two of you filed joint this year the check will be in both of your names and you will both have to endorse it. If you filed in any other status who ever claimed the child(ren) will get the check.
No I don't think he should be entitled to half if he hasn't been paying child support, but again if you filed joint his name will also be on the check.

Yeah, I work at a bank, so I know about the endorsement.
I know he will sign the check, that is not what I am worried about. I just dont think it is right that he gets half. What is he going to do with it?? The money should go to our daughter.
Anyhow, thanks for the reply.

If you filed your taxes jointly the check will come in both your names. What I did in order to make sure the money would go towards my daughter and not his gf I had him sign the check and then I took the check to the bank. ALWAYS, ALWAYS make him/her sign the check first. Once you sign the check it's like giving the other person cash. And as long as the other person signed the check they can not get you into trouble because they signed in willingly and knowingly.
