Make sure you have a birth certificate for the 16 year old, in case of audit. I believe you have very much so, the right to claim her on taxes. You support her, that's it. Don't let the mother claim her on her taxes. He should discuss this with the mom, if possible, and that mom should agree with this. It is your choice who gets to claim this child. Being you pay for all her necessities, you have first right. Definitely claim her until she no longer lives with you. After she is 18, you can still claim her if she is in school and is not claiming her own taxes. Being married, has nothing to do with taxes. As long as he is the father, even if not, she lives with you, you foot the bills, therefore you can claim her as a dependent.

You can claim her as long as she's under 19, or under 24 and a full-time student.
You will lose the child tax credit for her in the year when she turns 17.

yes, you can still claim her as dependent, until 21 years old, as long as she doesn't have a job of her own, otherwise, no.
