Legal Question in Tax Law in California

tax return

My boyfriend and I live together. He has a prior wage order for child support of long ago. He doesn't receive his tax returns as the IRS and State of CA keep them againt the garnishment. If we marry can I file separately so I can still get my taxes returned? Will my money become accessible to the IRS and State for his garnishment?
