My husband can claim his daughter on even numbered years as outlined in the custody paperwork. During the custody dispute, he was not paying childsupport and once child support was set an additional $20 a month was tacked on in order to go towards the rearages (about $1500 in rearages) so instead of paying $519 a month, he pays $539. His income tax returns also go directly towards the rearages. It was last at around $1100 but with his income tax refund this year, it went down to around $700. In 08 if he claims his daughter and is scheduled for a refund, it again will go towards the rearages first. However, I'm curious if I can claim my stepdaughter instead of him that way we actually receive the money? If not that's fine too ... at least we'll have all the rearages paid off with the next refund. JUST CURIOUS!
