My fiance and I live together with our 3 children-one his, one mine and one ours. His brother also lives with us. I am the sole supporter of the family, except my fiance worked about a month, cut his finger off and recieved some workman's compensation. We are fighting for the rest of his settlement, but this shouldn't be resolved until sometime next year.
Anyway, he owes back child support on the child that lives with us, and has lived with us, for 3 1/2 years (we are fighting this too because it is bogus), but if I claim him and the kids can the government take my tax return because he owes past child support? I have heard that they can if we are married, but don't even know much about that. By the way, I haven't received a dime of support from her from the mother in all of those years.
Also, can I claim his brother since I support him as well (he is 24)?
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
