My husband has legal problems (owes money) and the state takes our tax refunds, and go into our bank account and takes money. I have bounced checks, and gone into debt because of this. Is there anything i can do to protect my money besides divorce??? we live in california.

you can file married but separate so that way your money is your money. that is if you don't own the money with him..if he is only one that owns it the best way to go is married but filing separate. you also can call the IRS in your town and they will help you with questions. also at tax time they have site set up all over the US that people don't know are there. its called the VITA program. it stands for Volunteer Income Tax Asst. When you open your tax book you get from irs its on the first set of pages. i use to be a vita volunteer put on by the IRS. they do taxes for low income and elderly people for free. hope that helps. but talk to your tax preparer. good luck..

You can file an injured spouse return to get your portion of your federal tax refund back. Go to the IRS site and look up Injured spouse return....at least this works for child support leins....
Try getting your own bank account also...make sure his name and social sec # are not on it, then they won't be able to get in there and take your money....

contact an attorney that deals specifically with tax issues. You can find them in your phone book.
Your husband had plenty of time to take care of this before it got to this point.
FYI - if the two of you filed a joint return,even divorce may not clear you of his debt. You need to talk to a tax attorney immediately.

I consider PIE R SQUARED - you may continuously have an lawyer signify you in court docket. once you mentioned you filed an eviction before all this got here approximately, grew to become into the clarification because of the fact they have been 2 months in the back of on lease? if that's the case , then i'm undecided why the court docket does no longer grant the eviction. you particularly could seek for suggestion from an lawyer and start up over.

open UP a separate account.. or just buy money orders...
discuss it with an attorney.. do not file joint returns at the end of each year..

You're married to him, they are your bills as well as his. Divorce wouldn't get you out of this since they were incurred during the marriage. There is no way out of this but pay the bills.

You might want to repost this question under "legal". I am sure you would get a decent response in there.
Good Luck!
