The weekend quadruple homicide at North Randolph Street that shook Indianapolis followed a domestic dispute over a stimulus check, court records have revealed. Details are still emerging about the history shared between Malik Halfacre, the suspect, and his child's mother, who survived the shooting. But their fallout raises the question: What options are available to divorced or separated couples that are at odds over who gets federal benefits? IndyStar spoke with family lawyers to hear what options for recourse are available. Recently divorced couples more at risk Since stimulus checks get deposited into the bank account associated with someone's federal tax filings, couples that are divorced but jointly filed taxes as a married couple may run into issues over how they split the single deposit, said John Floreancig, general counsel at Indianapolis Legal Aid Society.
