If there is no court order governing how you and your wife are to distribute your tax refund, one option is to consider proceeding as you have since you separated. If your wife files an application with the Court seeking alimony, a portion of your tax refund, or other relief, be sure to respond to the Court accordingly. Even though you have been separated for almost 9 years, you and your wife are still married. As your wife, she still has certain rights. There are nuances to the answers to your questions and more information to discuss with you that are better addressed in a consultation.
