My husband was arressted and charged with domestic battery. We didn't get our taxes done yet. I was wondering if I can go ahead and file them even tho there is a no contact order in effect, or it would be better for me to file seperately, or what...... just some FYI....he left me without a dime (literally) So, which ever way will get me the biggest return. We had our own business - but everything except the big truck - is in his name. HELP!!!!

If you were still legally married as of 12/31/06 then you can file as "married filing jointly." However, you would both need to sign the tax return. You could not sign on your husband's behalf. It is more beneficial tax-wise to file jointly, but your husband would need to concur.

If your asking if you can e-file a joint return without his concurrence and take the money and run, don't even think about it. That would be tax fraud and sadly could have worse consequences for you than the DB charge against him would have on him.
Depending upon state law where you live, the fact that the business is in his name may be meaningless. You should discuss this with your divorce attorney -- and if you don't have one you need to get one pronto.

File separately. You can't take any of the business stuff if the business is only in his name. You need his signature if filing jointly. A lawyer can help with getting that.
Don't do the business anymore. Open a business under your name only and then do it so that the income counts as yours so that you can file separately in the future. Once you file separately, you have to keep filing separately.
You do need to file an extension for your taxes since you are running out of time.
Get a divorce ASAP so that you don't have this problem anymore.

I'd contact a tax professional for assistance. Perhaps you can find one that will act as an intermediary between you and your husband in order to get your taxes filed properly.
If you're divorcing, I'd ask your attorney first, assuming you have one. Presumably he/she has dealt with this issue in past, as you're unlikely to be the only non-talking couple around tax time they've ever dealt with.

The restraining order prevents him from contacting you different than whilst it is composed of the youngster. and you have been incorrect to be harassing him approximately utilising a sitter. He has the the perfect option to have a existence. you haven't any longer have been given any perfect to circumvent him from his court ordered visitation. Your habit is going for use against you, so straighten up and act like an grownup. you're putting a unfavorable occasion to your newborn, and are at as quickly as heading in direction of dropping actual custody. Judges hate mothers and dads who behave such as you do.
