my husband have 2 kids previous marriage and 2 with me. he doesn't have a job yet and haven't paid child support. will they garnish my income?

You don't owe his child support.
Is there a court order for him to pay support. If so, he needs to go to court to modify it to reduce and/or stop it.

If mother is alive, she can settle it.
Otherwise, you will need proof that she gave up ownership.

For child support, contact Public Aid and they will put you in touch with child support services.

As of now, the great aunt owns the property.
If she had a will and the executor does not probate the will, any heir can ask to probate it.
Once the estate is opened, it will go according to the will.
If it went to mother and aunt, each will receive one-half.

Do i pay on the gross income or the adjusted gross income after expences
answered on Jan 19, 2018
In business your gross income is the income after expenses.
You still have to pay taxes on it.
This is the same as gross income from wages.

She seems to have said that she updated your contact information.
That doesn't mean they will contact you.
Looks like they don't show your name on any of her accounts.
We’ve never been to court but he pays child support.
answered on Jan 19, 2018
Unless there is a court order giving him the exemption, the IRS should honor your claim because you have custody by virtue of him paying you child support.
Is there a type of sale where the buyer pays the past due taxes and pays less for the house? Or some way to get out of the hole we are in? we have absolutely nothing else.
answered on Jan 19, 2018
When you sell the house all liens have to be paid off unless the lienholder is willing to take a lesser amount.
The question only comes up if the sale price doesn't cover the liens.

Yes.
But not likely.
If everyone asked for a trial, there wouldn't be enough time to try everyone.

They showed up in the tax documents.
What does that mean.
These debts are too old to be owed and will not show up on your credit report.
You could mess up by paying on them.

I have since Adopted my grandson. Oct. 2017. Should I present this to Probate Judge, If it even matters? Grandson is 15. Disabled.
answered on Jan 18, 2018
If you adopted, the guardianship should have been, or may be considered to be closed.
Did you file an accounting.
Apparently, the bank has money for the child. They can only give it to a guardian appointed by court to safeguard his money.
They don't just give it to the... View More

There is no reading of wills.
The executors will go to court and be appointed.
Then, if they have not already gotten consents from all the heirs, they will send notices with the probate papers and will attached.
This is to allow people to challenge the will.

You say you got divorced.
Didn't the divorce cover these issues.
If it did, those don't change until a new court order is entered.

Looks like she is using grandma for permanent babysitting.
You can go to court to ask for a Parenting Plan favorable to you since mom does not want to be involved.
Also if I owe her money due to not working would she be able to forgive my debit so I can start off fresh?
answered on Jan 15, 2018
If the money is not owed to the state, you and she can pretty much work out whatever you want.
As long as it is not unconscionable.
Nothing counts until a judge approves it.
answered on Jan 15, 2018
Once you open an estate, the estate will then sell the house.
At the closing the mortgage and any other liens will be paid off from the sale proceeds.
This will be no different than a normal closing.
Can I file bankruptcy and keep my home?
answered on Jan 13, 2018
Whether you file or not the same rules apply as to protecting the house.
In Illinois you can protect up to $15,000.00 equity in a house you live in by claiming homestead.
This applies to creditors as well as the bankruptcy trustee.
Son also had repossessed car he had bought for ex she stopped paying for after she wrecked he kept wondering why he was still living paycheck to paycheck, company had payroll change that's how they caught it, she owns her own Nail salon but keeps giving him the run around.

If there was only one child and he was paying support and the child died, he needs to go to court to terminate it.
As to the car, depending on how the divorcement reads, she may be in contempt for failure to make the payments.
