1. STBX refused to file taxes jointly - just to be obstinate. So my atty gave me the ok to go ahead & file myself - i get ALL the child & tax credits AND the deductions . He has been out of the house a year, so technically, if they INSISTED on his getting some of my return, i woudl give him 1/ 12th, the amount of time he lived in my (ha! *MY*

First of all Rebecca, I saw your other post about it being a year and all I can say is congratulations on coming this far to where you are today... just imagine where you'll be in a couple months (ITALY!!!) or this time next year... definitely in an even better place!

Congratulations on your refund... I think that is awesome for you... I've enjoyed a couple of very nice refunds over the past couple of years and think I'll get a nice one this year... just not quite as nice as last year because I have now officially bumped up into the next tax bracket... I'm really not complaining though... I had to pay for so many years that if I break even or only owe a little bit I'm thrilled and if I actually get a refund, I'm bouncing off the walls...

And what more can we say about your stbx... he is what he is... and that's not a pretty picture, but, what can ~you~ do... nada... It is his responsibility to let someone know how to get in touch with him and if he chooses not to, then I truly hope nothing that would require such an emergency call occur, but if it does, he has once again, made his bed...

*hugs* and have fun planning for Italy... I'm planning a birthday trip (Oct) to Disney for Joey... I'm so excited and I haven't even made reservations yet... pathetic, huh?

Either he has some fancy cell... or he's not going very far.
