TAX TIME

RandE559's picture

So my DH gets a text from BM just now saying she's claiming both their girls. The girls are 14 and she has never let him claim the girls. In Sept 2012 their court order changed to 50/50. Prior to that in 2005 she had sole physical and legal however it has never mentioned in any court order who can claim them and since there are 2 children in common isnt it fair that each just claim 1. So my question is even though BM had full custody up until Sept last year would it be illegal if my DH claimed 1?

Nope, not mentioned once. However, DH has always had his kids 50/50 through out the years. Has been responsible for school clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc...

IS there a child support order? Usually tax issues are addressed in that.

True. Better to be safe then sorry. DH and BM have a review coming up on Feb 15- I'll be sure to tell DH to mention to Judge to modify the court order to specify who can claim and when that'll be the best solution. Thanks Smile

My BF and BM have to switch every other year claiming SS11 - that was ordered by the court when they got divorced.
