i am engaged to a man who has two other children from a previous relationship. its a very complicated situation, but he owes back child support. the child support is now automatically deducted from his paychecks each week and has been for years. for the past few years when he has filed, the refunds that he gets automatically go to the guardian of the children for the back child support that he owes. my question is what is the best way for us to file so that we can make sure to get the money that we should from our refund? i am a new mom, i had my baby in december of last year so i can claim her on my taxes, but we did not know if we should file jointly, separately, etc...if we file jointly, and we receive money back bc of the newborn, will this money automatically be taken and sent for his back child support? is it best that we file separately and i claim our baby so that we are guaranteed that money? i do not understand the tax process well and need some advice. thank you!
