Re: family tax law

Until and unless the Court says otherwise, money in both of your bank accounts can be determined to be marital and subject to being allocated between the two of you by the Court. If you believe that he wrongfully claimed the children on his taxes, then you should discuss that issue with an accountant to determine your options.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
