Re: Now I know where he REALLY stands....

You knew that the tax return was going to bite you in the butt... And it did...
It isn't worth going to trial over it... If at the preliminary conference you get more than 80% of everything else that you want...
You should sign off on an agreement..
Have you ever read Steve Covey?? He advocates "win-win". Let your stbx think that he won something from you...
You said that it is only pennies if you don't get CS for oldest DD (make sure she doesn't find out about the things he said in his answer)
And in the long run, the tax return amount is a small amount to pay to get him out of your life..
You REALLY don’t want to go in front of a judge w/ your justifications… It does not matter what you did w/ the money AFTER you took it..
Well your honor, I robbed the US Mint BUT I used the money to feed poor people in Timbuktu… It just doesn’t hold water…
Nor does it matter what he did or did not abscond with…
Since you were 5yrs old, you learned two wrongs don’t make a right..
Going to trial is always a gamble..
A day in court costs the taxpayers, thousands of dollars… so unless you are arguing over “significant” assets, you are wasting a judge's time and the court's money…
If you CHOOSE to go to court to argue over what the court deems to be insubstantial amounts, the judge tends to penalize both of you...
