Thank you. I called the IRS , Senator Shaheen,NH Rep Anne Kuster,NH. It seems there is no solution to this problem, although there are many in this situation. Over 600,000 people got divorced in 2020......and how many filed jointly?? and the spouse who has the first SS number gets the checks.....not the kids, not the other spouse.
I was told by IRS and by Rep Kuster's office that it is a "legal matter" and I would have to get an attorney to go after the ex spouse. I was told there is no solution to this problem. The stimulus didn't account for this scenario.
