QUESTION
Can ex husband be found in contempt of court for not following divorce decree?
Asked on Feb 23rd, 2014 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
Our divorce decree states we split children for taxes, we always have. This year, he filed first and took all four. I only found out when my taxes were rejected. He is technically residential parent but we have joint physical custody. I know IRS will give him refund. But he is still not following decree. I do not pay child support but I often have them more than he does.
