If your income is at a certain level, you may be eligible for the Earned Income Credit. You definitely do not want to put yourselves in the position of owing taxes at the end of the year, so be careful in changing the exemptions on your W-4.

Cut out any discretionary extras that you have now (internet; cable; cell phone; clothing) and live simply while he is unemployed. First, EVERYONE needs their money for some thing or another.....gee I need it, I need yours too...to support my elderly grandma...sound like a good reason that you should pay and I shouldn't? Second, what are you saying? Your refund is coming to you...by definition...it is being "refunded". Use it for whatever you want. If your not getting a refund because you haven't paid some other government debt or such, which you should have paid instead of having too much tax withheld....it's good for you and your kids to understand your debts need to be paid, and creditors respected (it is how they pay for their employees and children and such). The EITC mentioned may well be part of your refund and if not, there is a process call "advanced earned income tax credit" you should look at.

How can I get help with my child's clothing from ex husband?

Clothing expenses should be paid from the child support. If you find there isn't enough being paid and your circumstances have changed (for example- older children cost more to raise) you have to go back to court and request that the child support order be increased. If he is not paying regularly pursuant to the court ordered child support, you can file a motion for contempt with the court. If necessary, they can arrange to take the money directly from his wages.

Why doesn't Florida change the rules If a dad does not pay child support he should not get visitation rights especially if he never visits the child Florida laws are bad for kids?

you have no idea how many times these rules are reversed, father's paying and not getting to see the children. your concern should be for the best interest of the children. they deserve to have a relationship with their father. If the father is blatantly not seeing the children over a period of time, file a motion to modify the visitation schedule and a motion for contempt, for nonpayment of support. you see, this is not a moral question but a legal one.
