Can I say 'relied on a joint income with the deceased' or does it need to be 'relied on an income joint with the deceased'. I feel like the latter is correct but am not sure why. If anyone can help that would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi, Can I say 'relied on a joint income with the deceased' or does it need to be 'relied on an income joint with the deceased'. I feel like the latter is correct but am not sure why. The natural word order is 'joint income', so #1 is better.
