Hello Tiffany, nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My husband and I are going through a divorce he has responded to the divorce saying he's not paying any child support and if I even ask for alimony (which I'm not) but he says if I do he's not paying that either and that he wants all tax returns and says that we have to file taxes together he also says I can't move anything of his stuff in the yard. My question is one can I file my taxes married but separately cause we are legally separated? And two can I moved his stuff that's everywhere in the yard to just one spot? That way it's not a hazard or anything for the kids am I able to do those things?
