If they live together and she doesn't claim them. Technically he is taking care of them if they are under his roof.....Well, that's how the government looks at it. Why is this a problem? Are you upset that she won't let you claim them? Have you been there to help out to even have an opportunity to claim them?
Not being mean....just asking some questions!

My godkids' mom has asked me several times if I want to claim her kids on my taxes. Since I'm afraid of doing illegal things, I've never taken her up on it. however, I may be putting her daughter in school by me starting next month. If she's living in my house and eating my food, I just might.

If your ex wife is not married to this boy friend, he can not claim your kids.

No he can't. But if he does then you may can get him for tax fraud. I believe that they have to be married before he can claim them. Call the IRS and check to make sure.

Only if they've been together long enough to be considered common law married--those laws differ by state, but as a general rule--if they've file joint taxes before.
Only one of you can claim the children on your taxes.

In order to claim a child this is what happens. I assume you pay child support and they live with her and him. If she doesn't work but cares for the children then he is paying for 51% of their care throughout the year. If you pay an outrageous amount of child support check into it because you may have the right to claim them. But if she is working and you are paying child support, then she has to be the one to claim them. Check into it. Either way its 51% of their care for the year. Whoever pays that can claim them. But if you pay nothing, keep out of it, not trying to be mean but I know a lot of guys who worry about who is claiming them and they dont support them at all.

If the wife and kids lives with the guy, if he supports them all, he can claim them. If they lived with me and I supported them all, I could claim them.

If they all live in the same household and he supports the child a certain percentage, I'd say yes.. Why isn't she claiming him?
