My daughter's fiance, while working hard @2 low paying part time jobs owes significant back child support for 2 children in Minnesota-% of pay garnished & tax refunds witheld. Daughter has landed a good job that will put her in the position of being the primary breadwinner. They live in Missouri.
If they marry, my concerns are:
1. If she puts him on her bank account, can the joint acct be attached for his responsibilities?
2. When filing tax return, will filing "married filing separately" protect her ability to receive a refund if due?
3. If they were to purchase a home together, would that asset be subect to attachment by MN for his debt?
4. If she were to receive inheritance monies, is it possible for a court to seize those for his debt?
5. Any other financial issues that you can advise on in this situation?
Thank you for your assistance!
