If he files head of household and she lives in the same residence as him for 6 months then he can claim her as a dependent

Well, if you mean she's living in a separate house, but did live there for a certain amount of time in a fiscal year, then he can claim those months on his income tax, but if you mean they live in the same house but her MOTHER owns the house not him, he can still claim her as a dependent if he is supporting the household or even partial support of the household.

He can provided she lived there for at least 6 months of the year and he provided over half of her support. You have to factor in everything to (rent, power,water, medical, etc.....) So in effect he probably can legally claim his stepdaughter.

Yes, if a minor lived in your home for a certain percentage of the year and they provided support to the minor, the stepchild can be claimed..

that depends on the agreement between your parents at time of divorce, there is also a claus in the income tax such as can this person be claimed on someone elses income tax and the filing exempts are slightly different

this for taxes? it says to claim someone as a dependant, you have to supply 50% of the finances to support that person. but they have to live in same house. im sure.
does he pay the housepayment, her clothing, her food, her utilities? if yes, then yes he can, but check with a tax person for sure, they are different for different states.

if the mother has legal physical custody it us up to her who claims the child on the taxes. my brother claims his children one year and his ex claims them the next year.
