so, after worrying a bit about the tax issue i did a bit of research and learned that because i am the custodial parent, the irs gives me the right to claim dependents and child tax credits. if i want to allow another person (non-custodial parent, grandparent, neighbor, blog reader chosen at random) to claim my children i must sign a form saying that i release my rights to that person. and that person still has to meet certain requirements that bk does not. so, i informed bk and told him again that when the time split is closer to 50/50 we can divide up the tax benefits. in other words, that'll never happen. (sunday was his last weekend with the kids until who knows when; his choice, not mine).
which leads me to this morning when i was checking my online credit report. perfect, EXCEPT apparently there are delinquencies with the credit union that bk's car is financed through. i called the c.u. and discovered that payments were three months behind (now sort of ish caught up, but late again), hence the blip on my credit. the divorce clearly states that i am indemnified of any responsibility where the car is concerned but this'll take a while to clear up. *LE SIGH*
have i mentioned how thankful i am to be partnered with someone who is totally responsible with his money? mentioned.
