A man is presumed to be the father of a child if he and the child's mother are married at the time of birth or if he accepts a minor child ...

Married couples who file a joint tax return are "jointly and severally" liable for the taxes they owe to the federal government. This means that the IRS considers them both equally responsible for the couple's taxes, even if the taxes are primarily ...
