- 22 - Calculations for the above included findings as to incomes, application of MELTZER formula to a shared custody situation, and findings that the children’s reasonable expenses are $7,500.00 per month while with plaintiff and $6,500.00 per month while with defendant. Additionally, $1,484.00 was added to the monthly award as being � of the portion of the total mortgages, insurance and taxes that exceed 25% of plaintiff’s income from all sources including the $5,668.00 monthly that defendant is paying directly. Contempt proceedings, credit bureau reporting and tax refund offset certification will not be initiated, and judgement will not be entered, as long as payor pays $500.00 per month on arrears with each payment. Failure to make each payment on time and in full will cause arrears to become subject to immediate collection by all of the means listed above. This Order is effective as of 12/12/99 and amends the Order of 2/03/2000.[15] [Reproduced literally.] On or about January 15, 2001, petitioner filed with respon- dent Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief (And Separa- tion of Liability and Equitable Relief), with respect to, inter alia, taxable year 1998 (petitioner’s Form 8857).16 Petitioner attached a statement to petitioner’s Form 8857, which stated in pertinent part: 15The record does not contain the order of Feb. 3, 2000. 16In petitioner’s Form 8857, petitioner also sought relief under sec. 6015 with respect to taxable year 1999. In a letter dated Aug. 31, 2001, that respondent sent to petitioner (dis- cussed below), respondent informed petitioner that respondent did not consider petitioner’s claim for relief under that section for 1999 because respondent had “no record of a joint return being filed” for that year. Thereafter, petitioner no longer claimed that she was entitled to relief under sec. 6015 with respect to taxable year 1999. Taxable year 1999 is not at issue in the instant case.Page: Previous 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Next
