How many allowances for married filing joint, both work.?

Ug! I get so confused on this allowances thing. SO, when we are filling out our W-4 to determine our withholdings each do both of us claim ourself and each other or just claim one allowance each. I REALLY want to get this figured out because I am having to pay this year and is sucks. I was of course filing single but I think I still messed up this wrong thing. It does not make sense to me that you can have these allowances yet you end up paying if you choose them.How many allowances for married filing joint, both work.?
Turn the W4 over and use the calculations on the back. It will give you a pretty good estimate of what you should have withheld in order not to owe next year.

    How do I get married if I am under 18, and my Fiancee is under 18 as well in Florida?

    I get that I could get parental consent to do that but I'm trying to avoid that. Basically I want to elope with my girl quietly then have an ';official'; marriage later on where all my family is invited and stuff. Yay for secret marriage!How do I get married if I am under 18, and my Fiancee is under 18 as well in Florida?
    You have to have permission of parents if you are underage. Until age 18 your parents are legally responsible for you and therefore you cannot make adult decisions without their consent, until you are an adult yourself.





    If you two are so sure marriage is the right path for you, waiting until you are of legal age won't change that. You're both going to go through a LOT of changes in the near future as you grow and mature into the adults you will be...you may find you aren't as good a match at that time as you feel you are now. Wait, and make sure it's the best decision for you both.How do I get married if I am under 18, and my Fiancee is under 18 as well in Florida?
    Are you sure you even wanna do that...





    There are laws that pertain to rape, especially if yall both are underage. You might wanna wait until you at least get into college or graduate before even considering marriage.





    From what I hear, Florida is very conservative and I highly doubt you can even do that.
    Im sorry


    but this is a bad idea


    im sure you're in love and have had a past and many feelings for one another


    but i implore you to wait


    a person should never have to run off and do something this life changing in secret


    please i beg you


    think on this a while longer and talk to all of your family


    why can't you just wait a few more months till you're 18? what would it hurt?


    i mean you've waited this long!


    Marriage should never EVER be taking lightly
    under the age of 18 is still a minor, parents are legally responsible for them and any legal document will not be valid without their signature. So... you cant marry without consent.
    You foolish little boy. The fact is, you don't! You tink you know what you want now, but in a few years, it will all change.
    Boo for secret marriage. Your immaturity is quite obvious---therefore the reason why children cannot marry. Go to school. Marry when you grow up.
    No can do. In every state parental consent is require until both parties are 18.
    Mexico is close to Florida. They don't have any rules there.
    You wait until you're both legal like everyone else.





    Sheesh. What the heck can't you wait a couple years for??
    isn't it easier playing 'doctor' or something, rather than playing 'house'?

    You can not get divorced at sea, it requires a civilian court. The divorce might have been finalized while one or both were at sea, but it did not happen there.How can I find records from naval personnel who have been married and divorced at sea?

    How much does it cost to live in UGA dorms for married couples?

    There are actually two parts to this question, can you live in the married couples dorm/apartment if you are only engaged? Cause me and my boyfriend plan to get engaged when i enter college but not get married til we are out of college, Can we still live in those dorms?


    The second part of my question is this; Is it more expensive to live in the UGA dorms/apartments for married couples, or just get an apartment on campus?


    Please answer, and thanks ahead of time!How much does it cost to live in UGA dorms for married couples?
    The rules do allow for domestic partners to occupy family housing. See the FAQ section under the first hyperlink in the source section below.


    The rates range from $510-$572/month for a 1 BR/ 1Ba apartment. Each apartment includes an electric range, frost-free refrigerator, air conditioner, electric heating, high speed Internet access and cable television service. You will save money living on campus as you won't have the commute to the campus at least once a day, more if your schedules are different. ';Just get an apartment on campus'; is not an option. You would have to be off campus to do that. Housing on campus is all run by UGA.

    How long should it be after a proposal to finally get married?

    My boyfriend of 14 years decided to finally propose in 2005 but till now has mentioned nothing in terms of marriage. We have three beautiful kids together.He has cheated several times, could this be the cause of us not getting married as he could still be searching for someone else to wed out there.


    Am confused %26amp; don't know what to think, was this a way of putting me in one place while he can still move on with his life.





    Would love to hear your answers.How long should it be after a proposal to finally get married?
    Does he think you're not planning a wedding so you don't care to be married?





    And if he's cheating, do you really want to be married to him? How many other kids does he have out there?





    You want a wedding though it seems, so get it planned and tell him when to be there. Brides don't get to be brides by sitting and waiting on the guy to tell them what to do next.How long should it be after a proposal to finally get married?
    He's cheated several times and took 14 years to propose? Why, cuz of the economy? Why now?


    To answer your main question, it takes about a year to 2 years for all the planning of a traditional wedding -- to get a date and all that. So it's not about ';how long should it be'; but how long does it take.


    But honestly, even though you have children together, I wouldn't marry this man -- I wouldn't even be with him. I don't deal with cheating. But that's your decision.
    Most people get married within a year of proposal. Some people 2 years. Why marry a guy that cheated on you several times? Just because you have kids doesn't mean you have to get married. If you really want to marry this guy then start planning the wedding. Buy some wedding books and start working toward a plan. Throw a calendar down and give him a choice of 3 or 4 dates in the next 6 months. He either picks one or he doesn't. Either way you know how serious he is about moving forward with the wedding. Sounds to me like he doens't care or he would have already pulled the trigger.
    I think you stated it perfectly - he was putting you in one place so he can still move on with his life. He probably proposed to give you what you wanted, so it seems like he's committed. Once he has you happy and preoccupied with thoughts of marriage, he's free to go out and cheat again. Over the past 4 years haven't you mentioned a wedding to him? 4 years is a looooong time for an engagement.
    He will not change just because you get married. If he cheats now, he will cheat later. If you want a happy married life, you are obviously with the wrong man. He isn't marrying you because he's happy with the present situation. He likes having a quasi-wife at home, and dating other women. You can't change other people. You can only change yourself. Empower yourself to live the life that will make you happy. You'll be stronger and happier. Good luck!
    If your going to plan a wedding then 6 to 19 month but if your not then 4 to 6 month is ok. Just make sure you can live together and that you have enough money to start off. Money is the number 1 reason why people get divorced.
    why should he cheat if he loves you, you are better than that. tell him to stop cheating and get married. or i m sorry to say. may be to him you are only mother of his children.
    7 years, once you get passes these first seven years your divorce chances cut down dramatically.

    What happens after a married solider returns from basic training?

    I just married my high school sweetheart .


    and he recently enlisted in the army .


    He leaves next month for training .


    What can i expect to happen when he returns?


    all i was told was that expect him gone for approx 6 months .





    answers appreciated =]


    i love to here from other army wives.What happens after a married solider returns from basic training?
    My guess would be , he'll leave a smile on your face. You can look forward to a ramrod straight young man coming back to you. If he doesn't now he will have a greater appreciation for you. Just realize that you may end up being mom and dad to any children you may have. I had a buddy in Nam that had 3 kids between 3 tours and was never there to see his kids born. He and his wife have been married since 1961 and things are still great. Married life is what you make it. Just be there for each other and let the guy upstairs take care of the rest. Good LuckWhat happens after a married solider returns from basic training?
    You mean as far as the mil is concerned?


    I hope so because if you're really that stumped......


    First he'll have to enroll you in DEERS(hopefully you can get enrolled before he leaves. That way if anything happens you'll be covered) then you'll have to find an apartment(or house if in Base Housing) at your first duty station.


    Remember though, after he graduates from basic there's AIS or other training. So don't get excited when you hear he'll be done w/ basic in 10 weeks 'cause he'll most likely leave straight from Basic to the training.
    From my experiences with friends that have gone into the military, I can tell you that he will NOT be himself for about 6 months after. Boot camp is to break down their personalities %26amp; rebuild them the way the army wants them. He will become himself again, slowly.





    Good luck, %26amp; goddess bless!
    After AIT they get 10 days leave if they will be stationed CONUS and 14 days for OCONUS. While in AIT he will arrange for housing on the base he gets his orders for, otherwise you'll find something off base with your BAH. The Army comes and packs up all your stuff for you and moves you. A very good website (it helped me out A LOT) was www.marriedtothearmy.com. There's really nothing else to know until he gets his official orders.
    He will go to bootcamp then straight to his Individual Training. Depending on what position he signed up for (MOS) will determine how long that training goes on for. Could take 6-8 weeks on the shorter end and some training is longer than 6 months. This is after the bootcamp which is 9 weeks. He will then have a week or so to come home at his expense before going to his station.
    Is he Reserve, National Guard or Active Duty? The way you write makes me think he's not Active Duty since you expect him to come back to where you are.





    He will be different, the age he joined at will effect how much different. The guys that join at 18 do a lot of growing up. The guys who are already adults when they join less so.
    not to be a downer but the love of my life went into the air force and she came out a completely different person. i couldn't be with her anymore because of it. the distance for 3 months with no contact at all certainly didn't help either...





    but all couples are different. maybe he'll handle it better than my ex did.
    You know what he will do.

    I am Catholic and married a divorced person can I go to Holy Communion?

    I have never been married before and have married a divorced person. I would like to go to Reconciliation and Holy Communion. Does anybody out there know what the Catholic Church thinks of this situation.I am Catholic and married a divorced person can I go to Holy Communion?
    Who cares? What you have to understand is that Jesus died for our sins so that we may all have eternal life. Communion is not about YOUR relationship with the Catholic church, but rather YOUR relationship with God. As long as YOU accept JESUS CHRIST as your personal Savior then YOU are eligible to take Holy Communion. Peace and God bless.I am Catholic and married a divorced person can I go to Holy Communion?
    You can certainly go to reconciliation, any time you feel the need (and you are also supposed to go at least once a year).





    As for Holy Communion, you could only receive that under two conditions: If your spouse has received a decree of nullity (annulment) for the first marriage and you marriage is blessed by the church, OR if you are in a period of sexual abstinence with your spouse until the decree of nullity is acquired and your marriage has been blessed by the church.





    In the meantime, you can go to Mass, daily even, and worship...you just have to refrain from receiving the Eucharist at this time.





    A priest can offer you guidance in all of this.
    That depends on if your spouse was previously married in the Catholic church. If so then in the eyes of the church your spouse is still married to that person. According to Catholic law you must get a dispensation to marry someone who was previously married and got divorced. Also if you did not marry this person in the Catholic church, then your marriage is not recognized by the church technically speaking and you would be living in mortal sin. You really should talk to a priest about this one.
    The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce as ending a marriage. The sacrament of matrimony is a covenant, which means that it is permanent. A marriage cannot end. The only thing that can be done is to declare that there was never a valid sacramental marriage to begin with. This is called an annulment. An annulment is a declaration that after examination of the circumstances of the marriage, there was no sacramental marriage to begin with.





    The person you married should obtain an annulment, even if he is not a Catholic. Also note that getting his previous marriage annulled does not mean that any children from that marriage are now illegitimate. Annulment means that a sacramental marriage did not exist. A legal marriage still existed.





    Since the Catholic Church does not recognize divorce, if the person you married did not get an annulment, you married a married man and the two of you are committing adultery when you have sex. For this reason, you are committing another mortal sin by receiving Eucharist. As others have said, you may go up for a blessing.
    I am in the same situation you are. You can and should go to Reconciliation often. However you cannot receive Holy Communion if your marriage has not been blessed by the Church. I am a Catholic and have been married for many years to a non-catholic who is divorced and I have not had my marriage blessed by the Church. I have never received Communion since being married. For a while, I sat in the pew during Communion, but a few years ago I started going up for just a blessing. Cross your arms over your chest so the priest knows you are not receiving communion and he will know to give you a blessing instead. Just a tip, you may have to stake out which side of the church to sit near if there are several lines for communion at your church because a Eucharistic Minister cannot give you the blessing - only the priest or a deacon. So be sure you don't go up for a blessing in a line with a Eucharistic Minister. Hope this helps.
    It is really good that you are seeking the answer to this rather than just going through and having communion. The best thing to do is to talk to your parish priest about your situation and what needs to be done. It is possible that your partner needs to get an annulment and then for you to receive the blessing of the Catholic Church.
    The Catholic Church believes that God does not recognize civil divorces.





    Jesus said, ';Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.'; (Mark 10:9)





    Therefore in the eyes of the Catholic Church you and your new spouse are probably committing adultery and living in sin.





    It is a very good idea to go to Reconciliation and discuss your situation with your parish priest.





    Follow his advice about whether you should receive the Eucharist or not.





    You might want to look into having your spouse's first marriage declared null and then marrying him or her in the Catholic Church.





    The term ';annulment'; is a misnomer because the Church does not undo or erase a marriage bond.





    Rather the Church issues a declaration of nullity when it discovers that the parties were not truly joined by God and hence a full spiritual sacramental marriage as understood by the Church was not present.





    Then the parties are free to marry for the first time.





    Approach the appropriate person your in your parish who has been trained in the process. If you encounter difficulties, you may go directly to the diocese.





    Be prayerful, honest and patient. It takes a while.





    With love in Christ.
    This depends if the divorced person got an annulment from their previous marriage... if not, it seems like you should not receive Eucharist. If you really want expert advice, though, I recommend you do go to Confession and talk to the priest; you can explain the situation to him and he will be able to help you.
    Think for yourself. That brain in your head was given as a gift from God- not as a tool to be manipulated by the thoughts of others.





    Who gives a damn what the Catholic Church thinks about who you love and what pains they have suffered?! How about what does God think? What about what do YOU think? You obviously thought it felt right enough to marry this person...so why care what a bunch of judgmental strangers think? Especially now when its too late to go back?





    And by the way, its 2008. Closer to 2009 even.
    people make mistakes and everything happens for reasons that are out of our control.





    catholic churches will let you. they dont really turn people away.





    but you should concentrate more on Jesus and what he thinks than a few people who tell you what to think and what to believe.





    just read the bible and you will know what Jesus thinks.
    is the person u marry to is a catholic? if yes she committed a sin and catholic don't accept ';DIVORCE' than you can't go to holy Communion.


    you should go ask priest about this either

    Light green compound number 7 from Turtle wax. Make sure you follow up with a good coat of wax afterwards The compound takes off the ';damage'; as well as a bit of the wax. You can use the Eagle One Wax as you Dry spray wax if you're in a hurry!My car was strung with streamers last night when I got married. How do I get the blue stains out of the paint?
    DON'T PANIC!!





    Paint is non porous. That means it's NOT stained.





    Get a good car polish. Not wax. wax will just seal the color in. You need a very, very mildly abrasive cleaner.
    im sorry but i think the only way is to get a new paint job.or get some car spray paint at a local hardware store.
    try using mineral spirits but rub it very lightly. we had some stain on ours and it took it right off
    go to a auto parts store and ask them.they should be able to recommend something.
    Call your local car detailer and drop your car off before your honeymoon.
    I do!! First of all, congratulations!! As for those annoying spots, go to the auto parts store and buy a can of compound. Use a little bit only on the spot (it won't hurt to do it everywhere and will give an amazing finish on your paint if you do, but that much work isn't necessary.) Buff the spots out in firm circular motions using the compound. It will come out very easily. Go over the spot with a little car wax just to re-seal your paint in that area. It should be about a 30 minute fix, maximum. And for another tip, I found out back in college that if you get tar marks on your wheels or chrome, Bacardi 151 will take it off with a cotton ball. (Regular rubbing alcohol might do the same thing, but I didn't have that to try.)

    I want to get married without doing the whole church thing. How do I do this?

    My fiance want to get married but we don't want the big church type thing. We just want to do the legal part of it and then have a reception afterward. What do we need to do this. I know we need to go to the court house and apply for a marriage license but then what? Where do we go to sign the papers? We live in Pennsylvania if that matters. I want to get married without doing the whole church thing. How do I do this?
    get married in court.or vegas.I want to get married without doing the whole church thing. How do I do this?
    You go to the Clerk of Court and apply for the license. You take your license to whomever you want to marry you, and they sign it after the wedding, along with 2 witnesses. After the wedding, you or the officiant takes the license back to the Clerk's office and they file it. You will get your original marriage certificate in the mail. That is the only legal thing you need to do to get married. As long as you have the license and someone authorized to marry you, you can get married anywhere. You can get married at the courthouse by the magistrate and have the reception afterwards...the clerk should be able to help you get that set up.
    When you go to get your marriage license, ask them about the details of getting a justice of the peace set up to do it. You can get married in the courthouse or even arrange to get married at a spot of your choice. You can also have a close friend or family member go online and get ordained to officiate weddings and they can perform your wedding whereever you would like. In most states, you need two witnesses to sign the marriage license with you to say that yes-you guys had it ';officiated'; and it was within the time constrictions. (most states as well also allow you to apply for the marriage license up to one year in advance.) If you have any other questions feel free to email me or IM me. Over the last few years i have become a pro at this type of thing due to several close friends getting married as well as myself. I planned my whole wedding starting in october and got married in March of the following year.....all for only 3500. It was cheap (considering the avg cost of a wedding is about 25K) and it was fast, but it didn't look like it.
    When you go to apply for a marriage license they should give you the paperwork. You have a certain amount of time before it expires to have it signed by a pastor or preacher and sent back in to be legalized. If you have any questions ask them there and they should be able to tell you. You can actually look in the phone book in the yellow pages for justice of the peace or pastors in your area.
    I do not know if there are different laws for Pennsylvania, but me and my husband are not religious people. We were married in a park by my Grandmother (she is an ordained minister, but she was ordained over the internet in a 10 minute process. If you know someone willing to do this it is worth doing, then someone who really knows you and respects your wishes marries you.). She had all the paperwork already, you don't have to go to the court until after the ceremony to file because you need all your paperwork with the minister's signature and the witnesses signatures. Whoever marries you will have everything you will need up to that point, then you just go to the court house after the wedding. It really meant a lot to us that we were able to marry under our own terms, with our own beliefs. Good luck, I hope you have a beautiful wedding.
    I got married in PA in August. Our wedding was outdoors and officiated by one of those 'internet ordained' ministers that has all the lawmakers in PA all angry these days. He's a friend of ours. We're both atheists.





    After the ceremony, we had our guy fill out his part of the marriage license and send it in. We put something really generic sounding for 'denomination' on the license.





    Within a couple weeks we got our marriage thing back saying that we were officially married. It worked.





    Basically, it's effectively impossible for the state government to decide what makes a 'legitimate' minister for a large number of reasons ranging from constitutionality to the fact that it's really just not logistically feasible to draw up regulations that apply to all religions.





    So just do whatever you want to do. It'll work out. I played minister to two of my friends about a year ago and that one worked, too.
    Wow. That is a question i ask myself sometime.


    So your like me. you don't want a big wedding, but you want to have a wedding. And i would say to have a nice back yard wedding.


    That is what i'm going to be doing.


    To me a giant wedding is just ridiculous and it costs to much.


    Mention a backyard wedding to your other and see how she likes it...and if she loves you enough she will like any wedding church or back yard.





    OH! and if you do it in a backyard or in a field. i would trying to get a really pretty one.

    good luck
    A lot of people in your situation just go to the local county courthouse, (I would call first to see what they require you bring), sign the papers in front of a judge and its done. You may need to make an appointment (which is why I would call first).


    Then you can send out invitations as to when and where you are holding your reception. Its quite easy to be honest. AND so much cheaper. Good Luck and Congrats!!
    a clergy man/woman can do it outside of the church - OR- you can see a judge or a magistrate. Probably a mayor or the governor will be recognized to perform this ceremony as well. Perhaps even a Notary Public or Justice of the Peace. -OR- go to a hospital or other institution and find the Chaplin.
    It's your wedding and you are entitled to do it any way you want and you can get a Justice of the Peace or even a clergy to go anywhere you want. JP is the best way to do it nonreligously. There are also people ordained in other ways (internet) and you can probably find them in your area by searching ordained ministers (I think is what they are called).
    Get the license, ask the justice what time he is able to marry you, (pick a date) invite the witnesses, and DO IT! The witnesses sign the license, the justice files a copy and its a done deal...Wear what you want, flowers if you want, just the cost of the license and the fee that the justice may charge...
    Justice of the peace marriage.


    You go to the courthouse and get the license and you sign it there.


    Then the justice of the peace signs the papers and then sends them in and you get it back within a few weeks. Thats all there is to it.


    Congrats on the engagement.
    We got married by a judge (family friend) at the VFW hall, where we then had the reception. We had to pick up our marriage license at the town hall after the fact, but we signed everything with the judge on the day of the service. This was New York State. May be different in PA. Congratulations!
    Do it like I did. My husband and I hired a man who could legally do the ceremony and sign our marriage license. He is a man who works with our brother-in-law. Then, we had and ourdoor wedding in plain clothes at our local national park. It was fun.
    There are Justices of the Peace, regular judges of the court system who can and do perform marriage ceremonies without the'; whole church thing';. The City or Town clerk's office should have all the information you require.
    You can marry anywhere you want. you need a permit for an outside wedding...depending on where it is. Hiring a minister is no problem...The rest is up to you! weddings don't have to be complicated, people make them that way.
    After getting the license, find a local J.P. to perform the ceremony. Or, you can have a pastor come to your home for something simple.





    In Texas, you don't need any witnesses.
    a friend of mine was married by a friend of hers. he got his minister license on the internet. if you do it this way, you can get anyone you want to marry you two.
    You should be able to make an appointment and have your mayor (or whatever city official you have) perform a quick and simple ceremony. Call city hall to ask.
    Take a nice trip down south, Caribean area, and get married there. Honeymoon and marriage all in one. They sell packages.
    You can sign the papers right there in Town Hall, as long as you bring a witness along with you.
    You can get married in houses or receptions you can sign the papers there, i think?



    The clerk of the court is usually empowered as a Justice of the Peace to do civil marriages.
    Kill 2 birds with one stone and get married in Vegas and have a honeymoon. And if the marriage doesn't work out remember : What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas
    Have someone you know and love get ordained online. It's super cool and ';church free';.





    We got married in my parents yard and a friend of mine did it. It was neat.



    you can make an appointment at the same time to marry right there in the court it is usually nice
    While you're getting the license ask them. There should be a place at or near the court house.
    Why would anyone want to get married?


    With the divorce rate so high, I suggest marriage classes first, believe me when I say.......love is not enough!
    court marriage
    In a registry office, you just need 3 witnesses
    Sign the papers? You have to get someone to marry you first. Then you sign the papers. She should be deciding how the wedding goes...not you!

    You did all of this work to graduate. Why shouldn't you send announcements? Congrats! I am sure your fam and friends will be proud. I don't think it matters if you are married.

    Congrats to you !


    I myself is an RN, although retired. It takes a tremendous energy, commitment to graduate from a nursing school of 4 year program.





    Now you have done it as a married person which is much more challenging to accomplish the degree. Therefore, you ought to send out announcements as well as invitations.


    I would not alter any word appropriate for graduates, young, single or married.


    However you would like to express will be acceptable, no excuses or explanations of your marital status will be necessary. And I'm certain that your family and friends are already aware of your status, don't they ? They will be thrilled to hear from you and invited as well, if I were one of the invitees.


    Celebrate in style ! :):}
    I wouldn't worry about the ';proper'; etiquette in this case. You accomplished something great for yourself, and I am sure your friends and family would want to hear about it. Married or not, furthering your education benefits you, your family, your children, and in this case all of your future patients.
    Yes! It is definitely appropriate. Just be selective about who you send it to. As a matter of fact, there is a new website for exactly this purpose call www.amigram.com.





    Amigram.com is a free website for people to post and send announcements for engagements, weddings, births, anniversaries, graduations, new pets, promotions, new businesses and other important milestones. The site enables people to share their happy announcements without having to build their own website, pay for a newspaper listing, or let their relatives onto their facebook account.





    With all the doom and gloom circulating these days, your friends and family will appreciate some good news.

    My sister is getting married in Tuscany. Reception is in Umbria. How do I help her find a local florist?

    Wedding is in September


    Need bridal bouquets and button holes etc as well as table decorations etc.


    Finding it difficult to locate local florists.


    Have a wedding planner but has only offered 2 options and both quite expensive.


    HELP!My sister is getting married in Tuscany. Reception is in Umbria. How do I help her find a local florist?
    My suggestion would be to talk to her contact at the reception area. They should be able to recommend a list of florists in the area.My sister is getting married in Tuscany. Reception is in Umbria. How do I help her find a local florist?
    Research on the Internet. And ask somebody who got married in that place.

    What will happen if you file as single if you are married?

    Even if you only made a small amount of money like suppose around $4,000 dollars. What can they do? Will they find out?What will happen if you file as single if you are married?
    Legally, if you are married, then you have to file as so, either jointly or separate... if you are concerned about your spouses debt, there is an injured spouse form you can fill out.





    In reality, they only way the IRS will question your marriage status is if you file as single one year, then file married the next, using the same spouse. But remember, telling the government that you are no longer married will jeopardize other married benefits (social security survival benefits, military or govt retirement etc).What will happen if you file as single if you are married?
    Why would you want to do that if you only made 4,000. You can file married filing separately and still probably get the same result if your not claiming any credits. As far as what would happen, I'm not really what they would do, but I imagine not much since its not that severe.
    They will find out and later you will have to pay penalties and interest on taxes due. You need to add both your incomes together.The IRS gets a copy of your w2.
    The standard deduction and exemption will offset all of the $4000 income, so you owe no taxes on this money.





    Why put yourself in jeopardy by lying on your tax return? Play it straight and then you don't have to be afraid of getting caught.





    If you don't want to file a joint return with your husband, then file ';married filing separately.'; But, don't file single - that could lead to more trouble than you want to cope with.
    Yes, they will find out. Married couples often pay less in taxes than two individuals. Why would you want to do that?





    If the IRS finds out, you COULD face prosecution for fraud. Why do you want to lie and cheat your fellow countrymen?
    they will find out
    You *do* realize you'll almost definitely owe less taxes (get a larger refund) if you file as married, right?





    Did your spouse also file as single?





    Did the two of you even *try* to calculate what your tax situation would be if you filed married, the way you're supposed to?

    If you are getting married how does it work wen buying rings?

    Imean as a women do you buy the man a ring, or what?If you are getting married how does it work wen buying rings?
    My fiance and I will be buying our wedding bands as a couple and picking them out together.





    Some women buy the mens rings, some buy both, some have the men do it.





    I would rather it be a joint decision.If you are getting married how does it work wen buying rings?
    My husband bought my ring with my engagement ring (it was a matching set) and I bought his ring. He was allowed to pick out his own ring, because he is horribly picky and refused to wear anything too flashy or big, or shiny, etc.
    no you don't have to get him an engagement ring. he just has to get you one. then later as you plan the wedding you both go and pick out wedding bands.
    You go shopping together and pick them out together
    In our case, we shopped for our wedding bands together. We each chose our own. I paid for his, and he paid for mine.
    We went to together to pick them out, and payed for them together.
    We bought our rings together from our joint account.
    well i think so

She is also open to locations in the Northwest GA area. She does want an outside ceremony, but any suggestions are welcome.

    How do I make Turbo Tax create two separate returns for married filing separately?

    I've always filed Married-Filing Jointly. This year I think I want to File Separately. Can Turbo Tax compile two separate returns from the joint information I've already entered? Or do I need to key in a new individual return for my spouse - as filing separately?How do I make Turbo Tax create two separate returns for married filing separately?
    I don't believe there is any way for TurboTax to separate joint information already entered.





    In the CD version, open TurboTax and from the top line menu, select ';File'; and from the drop down box, select ';New Tax Return';. If you are filing separately, you will have to create TWO new files, one for you and one for your spouse.How do I make Turbo Tax create two separate returns for married filing separately?
    Just save as DIFFERENT FILE NAMES...I like to use different suffix endings etc/





    Note if you can't remember which one is which, then just OPEN FORMS and print out selective forms or pages to avoid wasting paper...
    Just start 2 separate returns, that's all.

  • If homosexuals got legally married in a place that allows it and then moved to a different ?

    state or country that doesn't permit homosexual weddings, would they still be considered married by the authorities in the new place?





    Just wondering, not planning on becoming homosexual, getting married or moving state.If homosexuals got legally married in a place that allows it and then moved to a different ?
    As the law currently stands, not within the United States. In 1996, Congress passed a law called the ';Defense of Marriage Act'; that allows a state to decide for itself whether it will recognize a different state's or a different country's same-sex marriage license.





    Critics of this law suggest that the law violates a provision of the Constitution called the ';Full Faith and Credit'; clause, which is Article IV, section 1 of the Constitution. The law's defenders say that this law is actually an exercise of Congress' powers under that clause to decide what obligations must or must not be recognized across state lines. No definitive resolution of this issue will be reached until and unless the Supreme Court weighs in on it, which has not happened yet.





    Particularly after one or two Justices on the Court changes over the next several years, look for a same-sex couple married in California to move to another state and to demand that the new state recognize their California marriage license. They will lose all the way through their state's court system and then take the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court.If homosexuals got legally married in a place that allows it and then moved to a different ?
    The USA has a law that states, Every state shall honor contracts made in every other state. So a marriage contract would have to be honored by other states.


    What is a contract?


    Normally, a contract consists of voluntary promises between competent parties to do, or not to do, something, which the law will enforce. These are binding promises, which often can be oral but are almost always more enforceable if written. Depending on the situation, a contract could obligate someone even if he or she wants to call the deal off before receiving anything from the other side. The details of the contract (who, how, what, how much, how many, when, and so on) are called its provisions or terms.



    It depends on the state. There are only a select few states which recognize homosexual marriage or civil unions. They are not recognized at the federal level, so each state has it's own laws on whether or not it gives recognition to homosexual marriages from other states. So it is certainly possible that the marriage or civil union of a homosexual couple in one state will not be given any legal recognition in another state.
    Technically, as it states in the Full Faith and Credit Clause [art. 4 sec. 1 clause 1] of the Constitution, each state has to respect and abide by ';judicial proceedings'; carried out by other states.





    So, technically, yes. For states, at least. But, especially in the south, they like to ignore this and say they're not married.





    As for countries, it doesn't have to be acknowledged.
    States could decide to recognize such marriages from other states even if they do not allow them to be performed in the state.





    So far, however this has not happened. In fact the general climate is to try to prevent this as much as possible.
    This is America. Once you are married, all states should honor the status.





    If Conservatives has their way they want to dictate their marriage term to others. If we do the same to them, they cry oppression.





    Whiny and fascists at same time.



    Depends on where they move. NY will now recognize out of state gay marriages, but most other places will not.
    No, the marriage would not be recognized in states or nations where same-sex marriages are not authorized.
    Once you are married you can move anywhere

    Is it common for married men to use facebook to perv at women?

    Do you find this necessary? Respectful to the married man's wife? Why would someone do this? I have recently found out my husband does this, as well as using singles dating sites to do the same thing... I don't understand and it hurts. He cannot justify his actions, only to say that he had intimacy problems when this all started and now he has a tendency for addiction to internet pornography.Is it common for married men to use facebook to perv at women?
    no, it is not common or respectful. don't let ANYONE tell you that it is. no respectable woman would tolerate that and you shouldn't either. if your husband has an addiction and wants to change, then get him the help he needs (there are plenty of support groups and resources and therapists out there for both of you). however, if your husband has no intention of changing things, then you need to consider getting out (especially if you have children because you don't want them to grow up thinking this is the way relationships should be). it is not healthy for you to be there and personally i see that as spousal cruelty. best of luck to you and i really hope that he will chose to change and save your marriage. and if he does, i really hope you'll give him the chance to try.Is it common for married men to use facebook to perv at women?
    My exhusband had a hardcore addiction to internet porngraphy. It can get brutal. It has nothing to with you as a person, it has to do with him feeling like he is either missing out on something in his life, or he wants to oogle women he knows he could never get in real life.


    It never got any easier for me to handle, and to this day I have issues with excessive porngraphy. It's just about how you feel, and does he seem to care that it bothers you? Or does he have a ';Oh well you'll just have to deal with it attitude?';


    Tell him how you feel, and see how he responds. And then react accordingly. There are tons of internet addiction groups out there tho,


    maybe that could help?
    So many questions about porn.... I'm so glad I gave that stuff up.





    Look my wife just poured on the pressure for me to quit looking at porn. Repeatedly. She let me know how insecure it made her feel, and asked me over and over to stop looking at it. She made me delete all of my porn. At one point I think she actually cried. Well I hid some porn from her for a while, but after all that I just decided it would make everyone's lives easier if I just quit watching it. So I did. I think I could have been classified as having a porn addiction too, but no more.





    Thank god I did. I hate drama more than I ever liked porn.





    So is it common? Probably.


    Is it right? Probably not.


    Would you both be better off if he quit watching it? Definitely.
    It's happening more and more to men, married and not.





    Now you know what's going on, the question is what to do about it if anything. You must be in shock, what a horrible thing to find out.





    Does he want help for his addiction or is he too in to it?


    No one can make him quit. Not even him if he's an addict. Good luck. Dump him if he won't sincerely get help.
    what a bizarro question?


    there are plenty of better sites than facebook to cop a perve?


    Why don't you go and find someone better? he sounds like a freak.
    hey my lady..


    dont be sad..


    im here for you..


    your husband is an a**hole!!!


    avenge yourself..


    dont frown..


    lets see each other..


    e-mail me..





    blackpsalm99@yahoo.com





    i will fill all your ';needs';...
    No. That's the job for us single guys.
    Sounds to me like he has wondering eyes and is missing something at home.


    You might be overblowing it a bit with the perv statement. I think you can be a porn addict without facebook connotations being involved.


    But that's me.


    Truly, he is struggling with his relationship with you and you are not listening or caring for him like when you met and fell in love.


    Once you were married, you tied him up in a little bow and now he is scratching his way out of the box. And you don't like it.


    Well maybe if you were acting less like a ***** and more like a loving wife and partner he might not have to resort to porn or dating site internet hookups.


    Maybe he has fallen out of love for you. Maybe he had this problem before you were married and you just were to naive to see it then.


    If you are arguing a lot before you discovered this, or there is no sex in the relationship, it might have been an escape for him. A comfortable place for him to work off his sexual tensions without suffering another argument or disappointment being rejected by his wife.


    Wifely obligations include serving your husbands physical needs maybe not every single time, but it should be often and regular.


    If you want him there for you all the time, then you have to be there for him all the time. Sickness, extreme exhaustion, psychological events are among the things that you can decline intimacy from, but you are his wife.


    I can't speak to anything else other than what you spoke of in the question/comments. But personnally, men are very visually oriented sexually and otherwise. We need to see some skin to get the juices flowing. If you aren't offering any then maybe the internet porn is next best thing. Men need their intimacy as much as women need theirs in their own way. Are we men subjected to listening and caring and sharing and providing without getting our share of the rewards of the relationship?


    It is age old knowledge that women have sex to get intimacy and men give intimacy to have sex. Making love is the blanket statement for that understanding. Two people doing different things (in their brains/hearts) while doing the same thing together. does that help.





    Of course he can't justify his actions. With women there is no justification for anything they don't like. Men don't like things too, but we allow you to justify them all year long.


    When you judge him for his faults, remember that he may be biting his tongue with his own complaints.


    This matter between you can't be healed with you continuing to be injured by this. If you feel he is cheating on you, prove it, justify yourself and leave him. If you love him and want to stay with him you must win him back from his electronic mistress.


    Stop feeling like the injured partner. Realize if that's what it is that he is acting out in an unhealthy way maybe. Maybe unhealthy for you, but he probably doesn't feel too bad about it because its his life and if he isn't meeting these women in real life he is just playing around.


    Try to get past this, and back to the point where you see past his faults and want him for the man you love, not hate him for his mistakes.


    If he is cheating, go ahead, leave him. That is never going to change if he is screwing around. But this sounds to me like he is just miserable and lonely in the worst way, married to a frigid ***** that doesn't act like a loving wife any longer. Of course he could buy you flowers once in a while too, but who is losing out here, both of you.


    If your marriage isn't happy, productive and supportive, get out now.


    Otherwise, get over it and make love not war!

    What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?

    I am a hindu girl in love with a muslim boy... planning to get married under Special Marriage Act 1954. I would like to know what religion should my children follow. Will there be any legal complications for the children. I would also like to know is there any possibilty that either of our parents can legally disown us.What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?
    I had previously too answered such question with regard to religion of the children born out of inter-religious marriage, the religion of the children is an open issue let it be decided by the children themselves when they grow up, or let both parents come to a compromise on this issue in the interest of their children, let not their peaceful matrimonial life be spoiled by such non-issue such as religion %26amp; bring disharmony in their life, after all this religion has brought so much of distress in the whole world for every one.


    As far disowning by the parent's of the parties to marriage, that is their own decision for which no one can say anything, whether they disown their children or not, this is entirely up to them, as rightly pointed out by the Apex Court just recently that in inter-religious marriage parents of both side have no right to object legally to such marriage if the parties to marriage are of marriageable age, what maximum they can do is to disown such children who indulge in inter-religious/inter-caste marriages, so let it be.What will be the religion of the child born to parents married under Special Marriage Act 1954?
    The law doesn't choose the religion of a child. It's parents do. You could give them an insight into both religions and incorporate multiple aspects of it into your childs life %26amp; then they could make a decision for themselves. If you want them to follow just one religion then you and your future husband need to make that decision between yourselves.
    In the USA anything is possible. But with your traditions of arranged marriage and his everyone must die unless they are a Muslim reputation, I say good luck.


    You could play with everyone's head and raise the child Jewish ha ha ha!


    Anyway make sure that both families are happy if not it will be tough for just the both of you. Ask him what he wants to do too.
    Both of your parents should love you for who you are as a person, not for religious beliefs. Your child should be exposed to all types of religions, not just hindu %26amp; muslim. Let your child decide when they are old enough what they want after you have exposed them to all beliefs.
    After marriage you would automatically become muslim. Takeing fathers surname in to consideration. No , legally they cant. But they can bare you from the property or other wealth that they want by transfering/nominating others in last wish deeds.
    Typically its customary for the child to follow the religion of the mother... Then when the child is of age allow the child to select their own beliefs.
    The religion (if any) of the child should be decided upon by the child when he/she is old enough to make that decision. Otherwise it's called brainwashing and that's never a good thing.
    There is no way you can let the child grow up and choose for itself?
    Marrying someone of a different religion is a recipe for trouble. I suggest you think again about the wedding, before it's too late.

    What if you file married on your taxes but you are not?

    The rep from h and r block instructed me two years ago two file married even though I was not. My fiance and I were planning to get married in the next three months. We did not get married and now I dont know what to do.What if you file married on your taxes but you are not?
    Well, you can either amend your return to file it correctly (which is what you should do) citing the misrepsentation of information by your H%26amp;R Block preparer (which is illegal on the preparer's part, he told you to lie on your taxes!) And since the preparer had to sign the tax return, it will be on H%26amp;R Block to pay the penalties %26amp; interest. You will probably have to pay the difference of the tax amount. But you may be able to sue H%26amp;R Block for ';wrongful damage'; because your preparer falsified your information.





    Or you can just hope the IRS doesn't catch it. (I wouldn't bank on it though)What if you file married on your taxes but you are not?
    File an amended return. You may get hit with a small penalty, but it shouldn't be too bad.





    If the IRS figures it out on its own, then you can expect a big penalty.
    File an amended return and call a lawyer if the IRS wants to talk about it instead of just accepting it.

    What do gay marriage opponents think about a transgendered person getting married?

    If a person was born a male and changed to female would it be OK for that person to marry a male? To marry a female?





    If one of those is OK what determines whether it's OK or not, the birth gender or the gender they changed to?What do gay marriage opponents think about a transgendered person getting married?
    They should marry whatever consenting adult they want. There personal life doesn't concern me.





    Actually, the law currently says that if a person changes gender their gender they can marry someone who is the opposite gender. If a born male becomes a woman, he is allowed to marry a man. It doesn't really make sense.What do gay marriage opponents think about a transgendered person getting married?
    I'm intensely interested to see the answers to this question.





    And, if you don't mind, I'm going to re-ask this question in another one. But instead, I'm going to ask about transgendered folks that were born on the dividing line between both male and female.





    EDIT: To answer below me, you say:


    ';WHY is it okay to violate the churches' rights and force them to recognize a mockery, but we can't make fun of crybaby fruits without being threatened with prison?';


    First off, no one has been threatened with prison for it.


    Second of all, it's not violating the churches rights, nor is it making them recognize the matter. Church marriage and legal marriage are completely different; almost times a priest is able to perform both. However, it can be a judge or something of that sort as well. That's why Atheists can be married not under the church.


    Church has nothing to do with marriage; they have their own system, separate from the government.
    We can convolute the lines all you want the subject remains the same.


    WHY is the Govt. trying to control a religious matter?


    WHY is a civil union not good enough if it gives you the same legal rights?


    WHO are these people really attacking?


    WHY is it okay to violate the churches' rights and force them to recognize a mockery, but we can't make fun of crybaby fruits without being threatened with prison?
    If the person was born male then had the sex change, they most likely would be legally considered a female. So it does not matter what the opponents say, it would be legal for that transgendered person to marry.
    People that want to transgender really just need good psychiatry. No, I don't they should get married unless they go back to their original sex.
    Who wants to marry a transgendered person anyway?

    I am curious on how to get married through court. Do you have to bring in your wittness with you or what? And do they go through the ring thing and vows or is it just signing a piece of paper? How do you get married through court?
    be sure to call first, sometimes you have to make an appt to actually get married. get the license first the get marriedHow do you get married through court?
    get your license at the courthouse. then you go before the judge. no witnesses are necessary anymore. you can exchange rings if you like and there's a kiss but that's about it. short and sweet.
    Go to the courthouse. If you do not want to bring a witness you can do a confidential marriage. You will need an appt.
    go down to the courthouse that you intend to get married,they will give you all the info.Good luck,when we did it we stood in front of the judge,then went to dinner.

Also tell me something about my past so that i can fully trust the predicitions of my future given by the contributors.What wud be my married life like and when wud i get a promotion in my job?
    Dear one,


    You are a sensitive and emotional person. The hard knocks of this world have more effects on you than they have on most other people, and you lose some of the enjoyment of life in consequence. What other people say and think of you is taken by you to heart. Thus, there are a certain number of things which cause you unhappiness which, after all, are not worth troubling about. Your manner is quiet, as a rule, and this quality gives you the appearance of being strong and determined in the eyes of your fellow-men and women. It enables you to get your own way when you want it. You are a hesitant person. Though you have the qualities for making your way in the world and it is within your powers to climb high up the ladder of success, the necessary qualities to carry you through and while you are wondering some more pushing but less well-equipped person steps into your place. Therefore do not think much of your mythical limitations. Take it for granted that you will succeed and you will. You are a considerate person. But we advise you to be more considerate to the people who need your support and endeavor to be a little better not so that you may crow over them but in order to give them a helping hand.


    In love matters, you are just as vigorous as you are in work and play. Once you fall in love, you want to be in the company of your intended-one every available minute of the time. You are too wise to neglect your work. But, once the work is accomplished you will hurry off to trysting-place to keep the appointment. When marriage is an accomplished fact, you will want to rule the home. The ruling will not be done, necessarily in an aggressive manner, it will certainly be efficient. If you are a woman, you often help your husband in his business affairs and this you perform with marked efficiency. For more info please write to me shanoomathur@yahoo.co.inWhat wud be my married life like and when wud i get a promotion in my job?
    Only God can answer this question . God has given you the wisdom to work and the results will follow in your promotion or marriage and everything . If you sit idle , no prophecy will work for you . No one will give you a job or promotion and there will be no taker in your marriage market. You are a young man , why look for shortcut ? Resort to Karma . You will get the best .
    daily go to temple once and prey god . all difficulties will be eliminated. if you give money contributors can help you in past and future predictions.

    Did you upgrade your main house (the one you started the game with) to Level 3? You need to buy the double bed too.





    To upgrade your house and buy the double bed, talk to Woody. You may need to gain a couple of hearts with him before he'll offer the house upgrade.





    When you've fulfilled all the requirements, the mayor will come to your house and ask if you want to get married. This will trigger a minigame in which you climb a cliff.

    I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?

    I am planning to get married and both of us recieve social security disability. Will this effect our check and what do I need to do before we do marry?I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?
    I second the comment on checking with your local social security administration. If you are both on disability, then chances are the amounts won't be affected.





    And to the posters who are criticizing social secuirty receipients as being free loaders, let me educate you.





    It is very very difficult for an able bodied person to receive SSI benefits, especially if they are young. The criteria is staggering and seriously is nothing less than being blind, an amputee, having a severe siezure disorder, many types of cancers, and broken bodies from severe accidents of some sort, to name just a few.





    To get SSI benefits REQUIRES a severe and permanent disability and sometimes even these people are denied. It can be horribly frustrating.I am recieving social security disability and want to get married will this effect in check?
    It depends upon what kind of benefits you are actually receiving. Many people say ';Social Security'; when they could mean either Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).





    Both are administered by the Social Security Administration, but there is a difference. SSDI is for those who are permanently disabled, but who have worked long enough to earn benefits. SSI is welfare for those who are permanently disabled, but who didn't work long enough to earn their benefits.





    If you get SSDI, your benefits will not stop, and the amount will probably stay the same.





    If you get SSI, it is possible that your benefits could change, since it is welfare and is based on household income and assets.





    Talk to Social Security to find out for sure.
    Generally, if you are receiving SS for your own disability, this is not affected when you marry. If you are receiving survivor's benefits, then your SS can be effected when you marry.





    Talk with someone at the SS before you marry for answers that apply to your specific situation.
    gee, you both must be hardworking contributing Americans. I am so happy to pay my payroll tax to keep you comfortable.
    I would suggest sterlization so as not to rear another generation of ';disabled';. It is the only responsible thing to do.

    When you get married what kind of animals does your spouse want to have?

    (even if it is a dream pet: like a panda)


    my spouse wants to have lots of dog and cats, fish, birds, cows, horses, pigs, goats(maybe), sheep, chickens, and an aligator(never will i have that thing in my yard! but she wants it)


    so what do you think he/she wants?When you get married what kind of animals does your spouse want to have?
    Well...my husband didn't want the responsibility of any pets.





    Today we have 2 horses, 4 dogs, 4 cats, and a 55 gallon fish tank.





    And he loves them all. He works to pay their bills, and grieves when any die.





    He let me bring critters home, because he loves me, and it makes him happy, to see me happy. Soon, he realized that pets help make our world...complete.





    If a new pet fits with what we already have...I don't care what he brings home.When you get married what kind of animals does your spouse want to have?
    All mine talks about is children.


    I would rather have a dog.
    A horse
    Bleh, who cares what HE wants. It's a family decision really, being that if he wants a freakin alligator and nobody else does- too bad for him. :D

    No. Your spouse's dual citizenship (or single citizenship) has nothing to do with your citizenship.

    I am getting married in two years, When would be a good time to start pre-marital counseling?

    Right away or wait a year?I am getting married in two years, When would be a good time to start pre-marital counseling?
    Well when my husband and I got married we had to have pre marital counseling because he is Catholic. I would say wait a year because new issues may arise and you may want to discuss them. We started ours about 6-9 months before the wedding.I am getting married in two years, When would be a good time to start pre-marital counseling?
    Anytime. Marriage is a constant work-in-progress, so I suggest always taking initiative and being pro-active about building up the relationship. My wife and I waited until about 6 months before the wedding to do the official pre-marriage counseling, but we had multiple pre-marriage mentors giving us constant guidance for about 8 months before the counseling. And we often go back and talk with those mentors because they just have a wealth of information, not to mention they are a lot of fun to be around. I suggest at least getting some type of relationship books to read through together to start working through any differences you may have, and if you can, find an older couple to mentor you and talk you through some issues that are likely to come up, and continue meeting with them after the wedding. If you do that, then the timing of the counseling really does not matter.
    this type of thing can never hurt so why not start now?


    it can easily help your relationship even if nothing is wrong you can always be closer and stronger - and there's nothing wrong with that, so why not?

    How would getting married with kids effect us monetarily if he has child support?

    My boyfriend and I want to get married. We have children under the age of 5yrs. old together. But he also has a two children ages 12 to 14 yrs. old from a previous which he is currently paying child support. I also have my son from my previous primarily living with us.





    I recently got laid off and am on unemployment. I will also be going back to school to advance myself in this competitive market.





    I need to hear from others due to experience how this would effect us monetarily...negative or positive?How would getting married with kids effect us monetarily if he has child support?
    This is dependent on the state guidelines and a rebuttable presumption.


    Go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There's a free manual there that will teach you all you need to know, and association with others involved in similar cases.


    http://Dads-House.org/


    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\How would getting married with kids effect us monetarily if he has child support?
    If you get married, it will create problems in your marriage. You already have children under the age of five. He has two children from a previous marriage and you have one. If you don鈥檛 work and you don鈥檛 help out and your husband gets full responsibility for all those kids, the house, food etc. it will not work out. You need to find another job and wait until things get better before going back to school. I understand that going back to school is important but for now I don鈥檛 think it鈥檚 the right time for you to do this. If your husband becomes the bread winner in the house then it won鈥檛 work because of him taking care of his other kids and everything else. I think you should really think about this.
    Ok...you are going to HATE this---but it needs said.





    Many states will give preference to ';first'; families. That means he is on the hook for child support to his other children, BEFORE yours with him.


    When you marry, that comes with his baggage. I don't think your paychecks can be garnished, but any property or accounts you have together become fair game for seizure if his support goes unpaid.





    I understand that your children have needs too...but in the last decade, too many judges have faced the same question...and shorting the first family on behalf of consequent children is not held to be a solution.





    Good luck.
    Both you and your husband, need to sit down and plan financially. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Hope by planning, will bring harmony for both of you and children.
    It shouldnt make any difference because child support is assessed on his income only, and you guys are already living together, and have kids.
    Make sure he has enough money to support his kids and doesn't believe in getting behind on child support. He's in this for the long run.
    Well he will still have to pay child support reagdless of whether he marries you or adopts your kid from your previous marriage. Get ready for hard times, cash wise. My best friend has 2 kids from her first marriage and the guy remarried and had 2 kids with his new wife. He filed for hardship through the courts (claiming since he had 2 new kids with his new wife he couldn't afford to support the two original kids from his first marriage) and the judge said ';too bad so sad'; you should have thought about those two kids you had first before having more and she refused to reduce his child support payments.So he still has to pay several hundred a month on each kid from his first marriage and he has 2 new ones to take care of as well. I would think long and carefully about this before marrying the guy. Also and no offesnse meant here, but i think you guys need to use some kind of b/c and stop having babies. If you each have kids on your own why in god's name did you need kids together??

    Is it only married couples that get the tax rebate for kids? or is it everyone with kids?

    The way its been worded is individuals get 600, couples get 1200 and those with kids get an additional 300 per child, so I am just not sure if it is only married couples or if it is everyone. Anyone have any ideas?Is it only married couples that get the tax rebate for kids? or is it everyone with kids?
    Under the terms of the tentative agreement between the White House and Congressional Democrats, individual taxpayers would get up to $600 in rebates, working couples $1,200. Those with children an additional $300 per child under the agreement. Families who make at least $3,000 but don't pay taxes would get $300 rebates.

    I seriously doubt that you would be able to. It seems that you would have to apply the same rules as though you were wanting to marry a woman in the USA and one in Canada. You would not be able to do that either. Unfortunately, you will have to chose which one want to be with the most.

  • My brother is married and his wife is wanting to file without him and her claim the kids. Is this possible?

    My brother has been the one with the job and has made all the money. She hasn't paid in any taxes. I just need to know if she can do this. He has always claimed the kids.My brother is married and his wife is wanting to file without him and her claim the kids. Is this possible?
    If they are married, they have two options for filing:





    -married, filing jointly or


    -married, filing separately





    She can NOT file as single.My brother is married and his wife is wanting to file without him and her claim the kids. Is this possible?
    The question would be why does she want to do this? Technically she ';could';, but it makes no sense. If she thinks she is going to cheat the system for the earned income credit she's got another thought coming if she hasn't earned any income to begin with. Also, if she has no income to report, she has no reason to file. Your brother had better talk to his wife and find out what she's up to before he winds up with the tax man knocking on the door.
    Married people are allowed to file a joint return, or are allowed to file as married filing separately. If they don't both agree to file jointly, then it's separately since both signatures are needed on a joint return. And if they file separately, either can claim the kids or they can split them, they just can't both claim the same kid. So yes, it's possible.





    But you say she didn't have a job? What does she think she'd gain by doing this? She wouldn't be eligible for any money back if she files separately, and he'd end up paying more tax than on a joint return. She'd be essentially wasting the money they could otherwise have gotten. Makes no sense at all. She might think that if she files separately, she'd get some kind of large refund - she wouldn't get any refund if she didn't have any income. EIC isn't available to someone filing as married filing separately - and with no earned income, she wouldn't be eligible for EIC anyway.





    You say he has always claimed the kids - don't they usually file a joint return? If not, it's costing them money every year.
    If he has been claiming the kids I hope he wasn't claiming Head of Household. As has been stated the only two LEGAL filing statuses are Married filing Joint and Married Filing Separate. Married Filling Separate is the absolute worst way to file.

    I am undecided to file taxes under married file jointly or married file separately.?

    We have two kids with a combine income of 48,000? What will the new tax break be for us?





    Thanks in advance.I am undecided to file taxes under married file jointly or married file separately.?
    1. Almost always, you pay less in taxes if you file jointly.





    2. Under the bill passed by the House, if you are married filing jointly, you would be eligible to receive a rebate of up to $1200 if you paid that much in Federal Income Tax. Single (or married filing separately) taxpayers are eligible to receive a rebate of up to $600. If you qualify for a rebate, you would also get an additional $300 for each child.





    While the rebate depends on your 2007 income, it is actually a rebate toward your 2008 taxes. According to the proposed plan, in 2008, taxes would be cut from 10 percent to zero percent on the first $6,000 dollars of taxable income for individual taxpayers.





    It's like a one time tax cut for 2008, but you get the rebate now instead of waiting to file your 2008 taxes.





    Because this is an advance payment on your 2008 taxes, your refund next year could be more (or less!) depending on your 2008 income.





    Check out the referenced site below for more info.I am undecided to file taxes under married file jointly or married file separately.?
    You will want to file married filing jointly. You get MORE benefits and taxed LESS than if you file MFS. MFS is just like filing single.





    PS you can not file as HoH since you are married.





    IF you do not itemize and you take the standard deduction you will have a taxable income of 23,700. Tax is 2,769. If your children are under 17 then you get 2,000 in child tax credit. Making your taxed owed 769. So subtract 769 from what you paid into withholding and that is your refund. (will be lower if you have other deductions or credits not listed above ex: child care, student loans, or if you opt to itemize using mortgage interest)








    Your rebate will then be 769 and you will also get $300 per child so your rebate will be a total of $1,369.
    You will get more back if you file head of household, and she files married filing separately..
    DO BOTH -- try them out and see how the figures come out....then decide....it's not hard to figure it out...you don't have to FILE what you put in pencil.
    If sounds like you want to file jointly . . . Not enough income and other income . . . File jointly.
    work it out both ways to find out which way will bring you the most money.
    yes. its smarter to file jointly.. if u do seperatly then you'll have to 2 pay 2 filing fees








    do you make more than her? they will show u if its better to file jointly or seperatly!!
    You need to file married filing jointly if you want to take dependent care credit, education credits. You cannot qualify for EIC if you file separately. Also, if you file separate and one spouse itemizes the other must itemize also because the standard deduction would be zero.





    There are alot of reasons not to file separate and rarely is it a benefit to do so.

    What percentage of married people do you think settled?

    Some people simply want to be with someone because they are afraid to be alone. Others seem to truly find a soul mate. Out of all of the married couples out there, how many do you think settled for mediocrity?What percentage of married people do you think settled?
    Unfortunately, the older I get (62), the more I learn of people having done just that!! What a shame!! And for what? If I feel I need a companion, I'll get a dog!! Life is way too short to ';settle';, and settling just happens to be extremely hard on one's mate-especially, if the mate entered into that marriage for all the right reasons. Settling does not affect only the one who settles, but it has a devastating rippling effect. For once-think seriously about the other person. You are not doing them any favors!! Now for the percentage- I think it could be as high as 45%, and the reality is likely to be even higher!!What percentage of married people do you think settled?
    i don't believe in soul mates. It's a fallacy because marriage takes WORK, everyday. Two individuals under the same roof, trying to get along without driving each other batty.





    It takes love.





    Usually a person settles for someone that they are not in love with--but not ';mediocrity'; as you put it. The two people may be wonderful people but woefully unprepared for marriage or incompatible for some reason.
    I think the real issue is that people change and what works in a relationship in your 20's just doesn't work in your 40's and above - the changes that you go through make you a very different person and pretty soon you've made the best of your situation which can be interpreted as ';settled';. Relationships are difficult, being alone can be very difficult for some and believe it or not taking a chance on love and finding your soulmate is scary too so many people stay with what they are familiar with.
    100%.
    Probably about 80%, I say this cause 93% of the people that I know that were married later got divorced!
    I have a brother who married someone he didn't really know too well. Now he said he feels stuck. He's a grown man and should have made better choices.





    I myself would rather live alone than be in a relationship that felt hollow or something.
    I'd say 90 percent....I know I did and now (divorced %26amp; happy) my life is so much better.





    I would like to find my soul mate, if there is such a thing.


    I wonder how you know when you find it!

    Im a filipina, married to an India man and gave birth in India, can I apply for Filipino passport for my baby?

    I am a filipina married to a man from India. I am presently in India but have not yet applied for Indian citizenship and my passport is still a filipino passport. I gave birth to a baby girl here in India who is now 2 months old and she has been issued an Indian passport. Can my baby apply for a filipino passport also because I am planning to go home to Philippines? Is my baby has a dual citizenship that of Indian and Filipino? Please advise me. Thank you.Im a filipina, married to an India man and gave birth in India, can I apply for Filipino passport for my baby?
    Your child can become a Filipino citizen by virtue that you are Filipino. You need to register the birth of your baby through the Philippine Embassy in New Delhi as a first step (preferably within 12 months from birth). From there, the staff can assist you in getting your child's Philippine passport, which is proof of Filipino citizenship and will allow unlimited stay in the Philippines.

    probably they can do cause here in UK my son can apply a dual nationality and same with me, but it depends on the country as well so it's better to check the Indian and Philippines immigrations if they'll allow your daughter to have dual nationality. it's better to check straight to them...goodluck!
    yes, your child can inherit your filipino citizenship.
    India does allow dual citizenship but you will have to check if Phillipines allows dual citizenship or not. if they do then you can apply.

  • Girlfriend pregnant getting married in July how hard is it for her to get citizenship?

    I am a US citizen and I want her to be able to stay and have our baby. She only has a tourist visa.Girlfriend pregnant getting married in July how hard is it for her to get citizenship?
    After you get married you should file for I-130 for her and she should file for Adjustment of Status (I-485).If approved she will be given a Conditional Green Card (2-years).She can only apply for citizenship after 3 years of being a Permanent Resident, if she completed the residency requirement and she remained married to you.Otherwise, it will be 5 years before she can apply for citizenship.Girlfriend pregnant getting married in July how hard is it for her to get citizenship?
    Marrying her will not give her citizenship outright. Conditional permanent residency, maybe. Yes you may marry, just make sure it is within the validity of her stay. Then immediately start on the paperwork to petition your spouse. As to whether she can stay in the US while your petition is in process, that is the gray area. Ask a competent immigration professional as they can give you the best course of action. Remember, getting married on a B2 is already a violation of the conditions of the visa.
    Hi Anthony,


    get married quick.


    THEN do the paperwork!





    Reason: people trying to enter the USA to get married will often be refused entry on the pretext that it's an arranged marriage just to get US residence rights. If, however, you're already married, they are blocked from doing any of this.





    My son is well linked to people in this state and knows all the horror stories. I once talked to an immigration lawyer in Ohio who confirmed this. Married ones must be let in by law. Unmarried ones with a declared intention of getting married to a US citizen will be refused entry.





    So, repeat: Get a special licence and get married before her tourist visa expires. Then make an application for residence rights.





    You can always do the grand wedding later as a repeat event





    Blessed be

    Girl friend pregnant, gets a tourist visa, comes to US, gets married and attempts to adjust status. Sounds like visa fraud! 10 years federal prison? Why not do it the legal way? They have visas for that!


    You WILL be investigated for visa fraud!
    have her take some classes at the community college and she should get in a little easier as well i know that for sure i had a friend who was ready to get deported and then he took some classes and it was a breeze for citizenship
    file and make sure she follows any time requirements on leaving to keep her in good status. go to uscis.gov for details.





    It depends on the country.
    Is she on a tourist visa (B-2) or a Visa waiver .. there is a diffence
