My ex wife got addicted to drugs and I fought her for custody from Oct. 05' to Aug. 06 for. In June of last year I didnt have cutsody through the court but I have the police reports that show I had my daughter and the reports stated not to give my daughter back to her because of safety reasons. In July, I got temp custody through the courts and August I got permanent with my ex having no visitation with my daughter. Although I had my daughter, I continued paying $140 a week child support until August. Now that I have custody, my ex hasnt paid the first penny in child support which Im not concerned about but she says she will claim her on her taxes. I havent kept her from my daughter but I make sure she has supervised visitation every other weekend with my daughters grandmother. I feel like I should have the right to claim her since I did pay my child support and I am also sole provider for her now. I pay her child care, schooling, medical and anything else she needs.

The person who prepares your taxes would know best. Based on what you said above, I would say yes since your provide her primary support. You may be able to file as head of household. Perhaps you should have some legal document drafted stating that you have the right to claim her. It is a good thing to state who claims the children in a divorce decree.

This is a good question for a tax consultant. You need to have someone fill out your taxes. It costs a little bit,but it is better than paying a penalty.
