Re: tax
The refund is being taken because you are probably filing a joint return. If you file separately and reduce the amount of money withheld for you husband's paycheck, that should eliminate any ability to take the tax returns. I don't handle tax matters, but I can refer to someone that I've worked with for a number of years who should be able to help you more.
Your husband should also retain a family law attorney if he needs assistance to dispute parternity.
