Thankfully for my ex husband I give him his portion everytime! But what i did was incase it was sent to him I called my lawyer and let them know to add the amounts I was owed to for both stimuluss in the divorce decree that way if that had happened I’d get it in the end when we finalized. I told them the amounts I was rightfully owed and they drew it in there.

Worst case… you add it into whatever is owed to you in the divorce paperwork. Any amount of stimulus can be claimed later in court if he got what was owed to you. Not saying you can get the money for the children but there’s a much higher chance of getting the amounts sent for you.

Contact your lawyer my ex had took money from our joint account and put it in an account in his own name. My lawyer got an order that froze both our assets to stop him from spending it. Was a nuisance but when the divorce was being settled financially I got half. As long as you haven’t reached financial settlement and you aren’t divorced you will get half of everything including that money x

Its in my divorce that my ex is supposed to pay me for the vehicles he sold when we were married. But my lawyer said I would never see this money though. So it can be apart of the divorce decree but if anyone figures out how to squeeze this money out of them I would appreciate it because my ex still owes me per our divorce decree
If you let the IRS know the situation they will split it in half and send half to you via check and half to him. Since it’s already gone out you won’t be able to get it without a lawyer however if there is a stimulus in the future it’s good to let your tax preparer know and the IRS that you would like the funds split. That money is half yours. Hope things get better for you. 
Report d aid on the kids social security numbers. And inform them the stimulus money went to wrong parent . Or when u do taxes have the apply n make note that he is not in care of the children at all n got money that wasn’t his .
Trust me the Judge will make him pay you back with interest! Judge’s hate father’s who steal from their own children!!!

If it’s been dispersed you will have to take him to court to get a portion of it. The stimulus has nothing to do with who has the kids it has to do with the tax return. I would let your divorce attorney know so that maybe they can stipulate in the settlement for him to pay you a portion. He is also going to be the one getting the child tax credit advance.

Could you file an injured spouse form with the IRS? my husband and I had to file one when he owed back child support ( it was a complicated situation with his ex) so they would not take my income money ( I was the only one working but we filed jointly)
If you are in the middle of a divorce, consult your divorce attorney about it. Every single thing should be in writing before the divorced is finalized.

My parents were going through a divorce when the first stimmy went out (they lived separately at this point but hadn’t had the court hearing yet) and her ex had to meet us at the bank with the attorney and split it or he would’ve been breaking the law according to the attorney. Don’t let this slide. Tell your attorney!

Call your government office that handles your stimulus and tell them your situation & information. I know here in Canada, if that happens, he will have to pay the government back or it gets shaved off of his paycheck and goes directly to you
I know someone who went on the irs.gov site and filled out the information that she did not receive her full stimulus. She got the full amount and her ex partner will now owe the IRS.

Well technically it depends if her and her kids were claimed as dependents at the time. If she wasn’t working it’s considered his money and she is out of luck. But she can still try to fight it in divorce court.
I’m Canadian so I’m not too sure how it works for you guys - but can you not just call them and just switch the account on your file? My husband and I file everything together but payments still come in our separate names.
Also, are you still on the bank account? Go to the bank and withdraw all of the money that was sent in your name.
Yeah, take that piece of shit to court… What a deadbeat. He’s lucky I’m not his ex cuz I’d stab him.
If the check is direct deposited and it has both of your names on it then the bank account has to have both of your names on it or it wouldn’t be able to be deposited, go to the bank and take what’s yours, he can’t do a damn thing if the account has both your names on it
You can actually get in contact with the IRS… this is a federal crime and they could possibly be fined or convicted of theft… had a friend in the same situation

Unless you’re filed jointly for 2020, there should be a way to get it in some capacity.
But to avoid any future issues with IRS talking to a tax professional is your best course of action.

Is your name on the account? If not then it can not go in there. Unless you did not work and he claimed you. If it is on the account go to the bank yourself.
Take his ass to court for them
Attorney or file papers in pro per. I don’t think there’s a judge out there that would let him keep your stimulus $$$
file your taxes separate and when it ask if you received put 0 eventually he will have to pay it back

Dates when he left or yall Seperated , how Long he has been a diffrent address or you have or Both. any Detail, Proof, anything and attach it to your letter and you will have your money Real Soon. I did this in the past and they didnt play they sent me mine. within a matters of weeks.

Sue him for interest and some for making you wait.
You’ll have to take it to court. Judge will order that he pay you back your share of the stimulus, and have so many days to return it… our buddy just went threw this with his ex wife cuz he has full custody
Amend the divorce papers to include your portion
You will have to request the money in your court meeting. Take screenshots of what the IRS portal shows and bring a copy of last years and this years income. More likely the judge will make him give you the money. Unfortunately, divorces take around 6 months.
It was sent to you, tell him hand it over or it will be addressed in Court …

You get a credit on your taxes if you did not receive a stimulus payment. They will probably audit him. Karma bus is slow, but it usually gets to its destination.
