Technically your ex-husband cannot claim the child if you are the one with custody.. Period
The custodial parent is the one that must claim the child no one else! I'm assuming there is no court order in place regarding this issue (if there is you must follow the order) If none was entered then its up to you... Does your ex support your child? Does your boyfriend live in the house with you? If your boyfriend is going to claim her make sure your husband doesn't! IF he does you can always contact IRS and let them know that your ex did not have custody of the child for 2006, IRS will review and amend his taxes.

It depends on what was negotiated in the divorce. My ex and I alternate years. If you have a similar arrangement, and this is your year to claim little Janie or little Johnnie, than your boyfriend could possibly claim your child if he is providing enough support for the child (housing, food, clothing, etc.).
What you could do is take all of your financial info (and your divorce judgement) into the nearest H&R Block and have them figure out what is legal and the best way for you to file. They will do this for free - you can choose not to file through them, that is. Most H&R's are great about doing this, especially right now, because it is good practice for their newer tax pros. Just do it earlier rather than later when tax season gets crazy.

If you haven't worked all year the child's father gets to claim him. The only reason why you want your boyfriend to claim him is so you can have some extra money in the house. That's not fair to the child's father. If you let your boyfriend claim the child without the father's concent or knowledge, the childs father can take you and your boyfriend to court. Let the child's father claim the child.

Yeah, he can claim (it's probably not legal but people do it all the time). Now usually people go with the person that is going to benefit them the most (I hope you know what I mean). Now your ex husband is not legally entitle to the child as a dependent especially if he pays child support. But the choice is yours. Either way go, they will have to get permission from you.

The parent has the higher right to claim the child. Unless you have an agreement in place with your ex-husband that allows you to claim the child, your ex has the right and not your bf. To diffuse a potentially disastrous situation, I would talk it over with the ex first and then decide from there.

"man or woman babies who're both over the age of 18" no longer immediately dependents except they both make below $3800 OR are complete time pupils as a lot because the age of 24. Your daughter qualifies. except your son is likewise an entire time pupil or makes below $3800 (the quantity of the own exemption) and lives with you, then he does no longer qualify as a depending. also, the Custodial figure is given first interest for dependency. so that you get both your daughter in college and your 15 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous daughter. Your ex-husband won't be able to immediately declare them, yet you could enable him to declare them on a three hundred and sixty 5 days to three hundred and sixty 5 days foundation by giving him a form. Be carefule filling it out because it would want to also completely assign the declare. "Our son became emancipated" in case you mean he reached 18, you're using this time period incorrectly. Emancipation is the criminal acceptance of a minor (below 18) to legally be dealt with as an man or woman. And monica s is incorrect. Mail shipping and the youngsters' statements mean no longer some thing.

If your child lived with your boyfriend for more than 60% of the year, he can probably claim him. But, if your husband was granted the right to carry the child on his taxes by the court, the answer is no. Consult a tax professional for more info.

that should be in your divorce decree. usually the parents split the dependents. meaning, the mother claims one child and the father the other...and so on. but again that was suppose to be dealt with during the divorce hearing. if it wasnt dealt with you might want to ask counsel or even the IRS what can be done. check their website.

Whom ever is taking financial responsibility. If there is no child support comming from the father its completely up to you. You dont have to adopt a child to be financially responsible and be the head of household. However, who bought the last pair of shoes?

You didn't have your child with your boyfriend, you had him with your ex husband so let your ex husband claim him.
