Business & Finance - 15 January 2007

My husband has two children from a previous marriage and they have lived with all for the last 4 1/2 years and not even seen their mother (she does pay $400 a month in child support). Originally in the divorce it said that they would take turns claiming the children every other year...but that was in the joint custody agreement....

My question is that she has not kept up her end of the joint custody agreement. She hasn't even seen or visited them in 4 1/2 years. The IRS website says that who ever the child lives with more of the year should be able to claim them. Can my husband and I claim the kids without getting in trouble with the IRS?

I thought that if we both claimed them we would probably get audited. But the IRS would see that they haven't seen or lived with her in over four years and say we have the right to claim them. I am going to be so mad if she gets to claim them when she hasn't even been in their life for over 4 years.

What should we do?

I have no savings or property of significant value, my salary is average and is not going to supply me with the funds I seek, no matter how hard I save or how wisely I invest. £1m is not excessive in today's money - it just means I could retire on approx £50k a year based on 5% interest. How do I do it?

When talking on the phone with customers at work I often feel extremely anxious and start to sweat and my voice sometimes shakes (especially if the person on the other end's connection is poor and I can hear my voice "echo" in the line). Do you have any good tips to help overcome such anxiety?

I appreciate all advice and would like to thank you in advance.

we just moved into our new apartment and around 5 pm on sunday someone came to complain that our Tv was to loud, it was at 23 and it goes up to 100, and that the walls are thin in the apartment complex. Are we breaking any law for just normal everyday sounds or should we be extra quiet just because the walls are thin?
