for a father to be able to claim his daughter on his tax return every other year? I know that it is the decision of the judge in court but just curious to see if anyone has been though this. My husband and I currently pay child support, provide insurance for the child, and have her 2 overnights per week. Went to court yesterday and the mother's lawyer is saying that we have NO CHANCE. I know she is going to lie to us to scare us but...what are the chances we will be able to claim her? Thanks!

Our lawyer said that it is possible. We live in Illinois.

My husband was NEVER married to the child's mother.

You have NO chance. I AM going thru the same thing and have for 7 years. The only person that can claim the child is the person the child lives with

its up to the divorce decree, you can try. i have been paying child support to ex but getting the tax exemption every year, yes it might help her out in taxes, but it helps me out also, plus it lowers my overall tax from pay. Need to talk to lawyer about this

You have a chance, especially since he's so involved in her life. My first husband did every other year with his ex-wife, it was in the divorce papers, so it is possible.

The custodial parent gets to claim kid. The non-custodial doesn't. It's that simple.
