I HAVE A CLIENT SEPARATED FROM HIS WIFE FOR OVER A YEAR.  THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN WHICH SHE IS CLAIMING.  THEY ALSO OWN A HOUSE IN BOTH NAMES.  HE PAYS HER $3000 PER MONTH FOR CHILD SUPPORT.  SHE WILL NOT COMMUNICATE TO HIM HOW SHE FILED HER RETURN NOR WILL SHE TELL HIM IF SHE ITEMIZED OR TOOK THE STANDARD DEDUCTION.  THE MORTGAGE AND REAL ESTATE, WOULD YOU TAKE ONE HALF, THE FULL AMOUNT OR NONE OF THE EXPENSES.
