As I was driving S to his current residence, after our over night visit, my phone rings. Since I am driving, I let the call go, yet hear the tone for a message being left. Look down at the phone, don't recognize the number.
When I get back home, I decide to listen to the vm... it's Dick, and no, I don't even have his number listed in my cell phone... this is what I call detachment.
"You know the name. You've got the number. The question is, why are you claiming D on your taxes. The IRS just turned down my e-file because YOU claimed her!" I want an explanation..... please!"
No, no, I didn't return his call... just laughed. Sorry fool. He obviously e-filed his taxes yesterday and received his denial today... now he is pissed, and of course it's my fault.
First of all, he's been claiming both children all along. The divorce papers state in 2004, he could claim both children, but every year after, we each would be allowed to claim one child. It also states he receives this deduction ONLY if his child support is current.... and of course he still owes me a couple of thousand dollars in back support. Third, this man is absolutely nuts... since mid November he won residential custody, but left both children in the care of two separate families, and hasn't paid any support, yet still expects the right to claim them on his taxes.... It just makes me sick to see how self indulgent, self motivated, self important this man believes he is, he is delusional!
Now, with the way things go, this will be taken up in court, and I will be held responsible for his suffering. I will probably have to pay him back the amount of tax he had to pay because he didn't receive his desired deductions. All because they won't go back to the divorce decree and examine what was written. Now, this has been going on since he began to take me back to court. Dick refuses to acknowledge anything in the original decree, because he has said "It's not what I agreed to." Yet, his own signature is on the last page, just as mine is.
I will call my attorney office this morning, let them know what will be coming down the line next. Just maybe, with my new attorney, I can stop this ridiculous cycle. Keep your fingers crossed!
Have a great day!
