When married to my ex, who was in the military, I got a Star Card, which is a credit card for the military shops. My husband at the time co-signed. When we were getting divorced, he told me he would pay it off because they wouldn't let him retire until that account had a zero balance. (Not in writing). Well, I'm re-married, and the IRS just took our tax return of $2086.00. They said it was for a past debt, and after researching, I find out it's due to the Military Star Card not being paid off. Now my new husband is mad at me and I am filing an "Injured Spouse" form for him, but he doesn't understand why they would take part of his income tax and not any part of my ex's since he was co-signer. My husband pays his ex about $2000 a month in child support and other "child essentials" and I get no child support. We are sinking into a black hole of debt fast! Any suggestions or financial words that may help? I need some great advice from people! I'm getting extemely stressed and depressed!
