What is the name of your state? Texas
I have looked on this site, and haven't come up with a situation like this. My co-worker and his wife are separated. They have 2 children. The separation is something that my co-worker still does not want, but what can he do?
His wife recently asked for tax statements because she is getting ready to file for food stamps. He is affraid that this will cause legal problems down the road.
First question is...does Texas recognize a "legal" separation?
Since they are not divorced, wouldn't his income be taken into consideration for her to qualify for foodstamps?
He does give her money every payday...and gave her all of the tax refund to help her out. and he pays for daycare...although she does not work.
Do you have any advise for him?
