were ages five, eight, ten and twelve. I learned this
through my attorney at that time, Dorothy Phillips,
Esq. During the separation between my husband and
myself, and when we were still residing in the same
residence, I had taken the initiative to copy certain
documents that I found in the house. I did not under-
stand what these documents contained until I was ad-
vised by my attorney.
* * * neither I, nor my children had ever received or
had knowledge of any of the money listed as income on
our W-2 forms. Evidently, he signed the checks himself
and deposited them into one of his bank accounts.
When the accounting firm was preparing the income tax
forms, I relied on them to exercise the due diligence
that was necessary, and advise my husband and myself
accordingly. I also relied on this firm to file the
forms in a timely manner, and advise me if this was not
accomplished. I was never advised that the taxes had
not been paid, until the IRS advised me. I have always
held the belief that income taxes should be paid when a
return is signed. It was also my belief that when I
signed a return for the IRS that it would be sent in to
the IRS in a timely manner by the accounting firm
responsible for sending the return in.
I do not remember signing this return and I would
appreciate the opportunity to see what was finally sent
in on May 2, 2000. If I did sign a return, then I gave
no authorization to any person nor firm, to hold my
signature for three years time, and then use my signa-
ture as current.
Thank you for taking the time to continue to review
this case. It is my belief that the reason that the
tax returns and payments have not been received by the
IRS in a timely fashion is because my husband, at the
advice of his attorneys, has decided to use the tax
bills as a means to force the sale of the marital home.
In fact, my husband has an outstanding petition in
which the Court is being asked to have the marital
residence sold in order to pay the income taxes due.

money to spend on our domestic legal proceedings, and
yet, he cannot seem to find a way to pay any of the
