I am no where near senior to hold those off.

So my question is simply can she get my per diem? By definition it is reimbursement for expenses related to the job. My lawyer says she gets it. I say the wife doesn't. It would be like getting your tax refund taxed again as income once you file and receive your funds.

I am getting A LOT of no answers but I cannot find anything to back it up to prove to the wife's lawyer that she doesn't get the money. We are in Texas if that helps any.

Thanks
