What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My daughter (an 18 year old undergraduate) informed me last week she got married. She is filing a summary dissolution this week (they both realized how stupid it was) but now I am left with a few questions as the mom who claims her on taxes and fills out her FASFA... Can I still claim her on my taxes next year if I wait to file after her dissolution is finalized or can I still go ahead and claim her as a dependent before it is finalized? I'm also really worried about her student aid, but if I can wait and file my taxes when she is not married, and the dissolution makes it like it never occurred in the first place, then I am guessing she won't lose her dependent status...but I'm still terrified that this will seriously harm her educational funding. Any ideas? I mean, do I need a tax attorney or do I need a family attorney?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
