Hi.
I married in June 2015. My husband gave his employer our marriage certificate straight away and his employer started to pay him as though he was married. However no paperwork was filed with revenue.
Sadly the marriage ended two months later. My husband has been paying maintenance for his children but refused to pay any spousal maintenance. Accordingly I made a claim for one parent family. I received a opf tax credit and have been working part time and receiving 154 euro per week to supplement my income.
A couple of weeks ago the revenue started to assess my husband and said he owes 3300 for 2015.
He is now pressuring me to sign an asessable spouse election form for 2015 and all subsequent years. I have said that I don't think I can as I have had opf payments since then and have received no spousal maintenance from him. He is enraged and thinks I am trying to hurt him. I've explained that I am trying to be up front and protect myself. It's becoming quite distressing.
So my question is can my separated husband (no legal agreement) claim married persons tax credits at the same time as refusing to pay spousal maintenance and I have been receiving opf?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
