I married a single mom of two in August of 2006. Her and the kids have been living with me ever since (I did not legally adopt them). I supported them 100%. Shelter, food, bills, diapers, etc...
In mid-November of this year, due to the fact that me and my wife are separating, the kids moved out to their grandparents house (my in-laws) where they will stay till the end of the year, at minimum. There is also a chance that my wife will sign the kids over to my in-laws (i.e, they'll legally adopt them).
So, the bottom line is: I supported the kids for the first 10 and half months of the year. My in-laws supported them for the last one and half. Who gets to claim them on their taxes? If both sides file at the same time claiming the kids, who will get it?
We're not on good terms, so them signing anything allowing me to claim them is out of the question.
Me and my wife are still married and probably not gonna be divorced for few months into the new year.
