Sadly my ex husband got all three of my sonās checks, we are 50/50 split on time. The years taxes they used fell on his file time. I canāt get any of it. My son asked for some of his and got in big trouble with his dad and stop mom. Sadly nothing can be done about it. I have checked into it

Going through the same thing!!! Itās so complicated 
Iām having same issues. My ex BOYFRIEND who has NO children he is legally able to claim is getting stimulus money for MY two children from a previous MARRIAGE. Tell me how they screwed THAT up in the IRS. And you canāt get anyone on the phone and thereās no emails available you can send. I just today found a fraud report form I could fill out and so I submitted that today. Says someone will be in contact with me soonā¦

I wouldnāt worry about it, during the divorce court trial bring it up. The amounts are in your name show proof you have the kids he will be obligated to pay you back. Donāt feed into the arguments. Those type of people crave that attention

Call the IRS and report him for fraud and heāll have to pay all that money back and youāll get whatās rightfully yours. On your taxes this year you should have put you didnāt receive the last 2 so that money could at least be included in your tax return. The only other option is to sue him in small claims court unfortunately

I donāt know if it works the same as family tax benefit? Buy my ex was receiving that for our kids the whole time we were together,then getting g him to sign it over he refused. But as ours is a DV case I didnāt need his signature. Anyway my point is! When I was speaking to them on the phone for the interview the lady actually asked me if I had been receiving any of it in the mrhs prior. As even together I was the 24/7 parentā¦
If I hadnāt?! I couldāve still got paid in back pay from Centrelink & they would have taken it out of his wagesā¦
Donāt know if same applies here
Have you filed your tax return yet? If not they asked you if you have received all of your stimulus packages for the year. Say no and it will go from there

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 Iād get it in the end when we finalized. I told them the amounts I was rightfully owed and they drew it in there.

Worst caseā¦ 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 thereās 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 havenāt reached financial settlement and you arenāt 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 itās already gone out you wonāt be able to get it without a lawyer however if there is a stimulus in the future itās 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 wasnāt his .
Trust me the Judge will make him pay you back with interest! Judgeās hate fatherās who steal from their own children!!!

If itās 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.

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 wasnāt working itās considered his money and she is out of luck. But she can still try to fight it in divorce court.
Iām Canadian so Iām 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 courtā¦ What a deadbeat. Heās lucky Iām not his ex cuz Iād 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 wouldnāt be able to be deposited, go to the bank and take whatās yours, he canāt do a damn thing if the account has both your names on it
You can actually get in contact with the IRSā¦ this is a federal crime and they could possibly be fined or convicted of theftā¦ had a friend in the same situation
