Taxes and Divorce

With taxes being filed throughout this time of year, common problems arise in divorce and custody cases.  These are often disputes over who can claim the children and whether or not a spouse may file and sign the other spouse's taxes without his or her knowledge.  As it relates to who can claim the children, it is often a case by case situation.  If there is a question in your case, then ask your attorney before you file.  As for whether or not a spouse can sign the other's taxes without permission or knowledge, the answer is that no spouse may sign a tax return or any other document without first being that spouse's power of attorney.
