Gulf Breeze, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

You can still file for divorce, regardless of whether she will continue to be eligible for any of your benefits. Divorce can raise some complicated issues, and you don't indicate how long you've been married, whether you have any minor children together, own real estate together, or what benefits she is specifically concerned about losing. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation, and your options.

  If  you entered into an agreement when you settled your divorce that permitted your former spouse to rotate the dependency deduction, then for the purposes of the divorce court, you are bound by that agreement.   IRS law is different, and you can consult with a CPA about that.  However, if you claim the dependency when your ex is supposed to do so, then your ex can take you back to court and seek damages.   You could try to modify this by taking your ex back to court, but it is unlikely you could show a substantial change in circumstances (unless your ex was supposed to have the children more time and s/he is not keeiping up his/her end of the bargain.) Sorry I couldn't give you more hope, but yu gave that up when you settled your case. Good luck, Cindy Vova Law Office of Cindy S.
