Hi,
I am from New Jersey. My husband left me and my 2 children 1 year ago. We are not legally separated. He has been giving me child support, but no money towards any of the house expenses, but he wrote the check to say SUPPORT.
My question is ---By Law, do I have to file married jointly with him. Or can I file married, head of household separately.
If I file jointly, he gets deductions for the children and all the house deductions which he has not contributed any money towards.
But, does the government and the law allow him these deductions.
Thank you
