If my husband and I file married filing jointly, we can get earned income credit for my children, but, how do we keep his ex from getting the money since he owes back child support

You must file an "injured spouse" form. You can find it on the IRS.gov site. also known as form 8479.
What I get from the question is, he has children and you have children. You do not owe for his children, he does.
Because he owes his children, does not mean your children should be penalized.
The earned income credit is quite a bit of money. Your children deserves every credit available to them.
I believe I understood the question.

Many of the problems you may be facing could be just the tip of the iceberg on what is really happening in your marriage. I dont mean to scare you but many problems when they either first show up or if they keep reoccurring could be just whats showing from a larger problem that either you or your spouse cannot even see. One of the only things you can do to help is to talk honestly and openly with each other in the marriage. If things become more serious more serious options need to be looked at as possibilities. I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've been writing about. If you feel like checking it out I would completly suggest it. Read here https://tr.im/TayIk
Love is a choice that is made everyday when you wake up and every night when you go to sleep. Some days you may not feel the original feeling but love isnt a feeling or an emotion. Its an action a verb. Falling out of love may just mean you need to spice things up a little or that you were never in love in the first place. Don't just get out of a marriage just because you don't think you like the person anymore.

The way that the IRS would penalize you specifically because your husband owes back child support is as follows... If you submit your joint returns and you have money coming back to you, the Child support agency notifies the irs and they will intercept any and all money for the child support first. If there is some left over you will receive that. If it is not enough to cover it, then you will not get any back it will all be taken. You might check with a cpa or tax attorney about filing seperately if you expect some back and don't want to pay his outstanding debt. Good Luck.

Two solutions...file separately and claim your own children yourself or if you file together,fill out an injured spouse form.This will protect your part of the refund from your earnings only,they can still take his portion to satisfy his back support.
Otherwise,they can and most likely will take any refund he gets to pay his back support.I had my refund taken for two years when I was married to my ex to satisfy his back support.

I read both your child support comments. Your question was not clear to many that answered you and that is why you got such negative answers. You can file married but filing separately or you can talk to your accountant They may have ideas for you.

Lady it's people like you that make me mad I had to raise my daughter working two jobs. And my X's new wife and family had lawyer that helped him get out of child support, and had sheriff friends that would say he didn't live at the address that he did live at. I hope they take every dime you and he has! My daughter lost a lot of time with me because of a dead beat dad and I can't ever get that back and I wore my body out and have had all type of operations to repair some of the damage and the other is useless like you and yours. I hope you pay for what your trying to do!

the money is for the children what kind of woman would be with a man that has not paid his child support.you have no respect for yourself.when you get with a man or a woman that has kids you have taken on every baggage that comes along with them including children so why don't you be a good woman and be his back bone and help him pay off what he owes,help him be a good father to his child/ren don't give me no excuses he get them every weekend or some dumb crap just help him pay the money simple.

If your husband owes his ex past due child support for his children, she should be and will be paid first. Your husband needs to take care of his obligations to his children, before he becomes known as a deadbeat dad.

Many girls break up with their significant others, is because they need time to figure things out. Don't take it personally, if you want her back, you have to show her you can help her. If you love her then you'll let her go, that's it. Not everybody who you date in high school you end up staying with, the chances are extremely unlikely. So if she doesn't want to, then you need to let her go.
