If your husband claims you and you file jointly, you will get more back on an income tax return. If you do this, your father will not be able to claim you. He could claim you because you were a dependent for a more than half the year, but then you and your husband would not be allowed to file jointly. You need to think what is best for you and your husband. Legally either your husband or father can claim you.
If you feel that your father took your rights away from you, I would strongly encourage you to contact the IRS and possibly a lawyer. If this was a situation I was in, I would be contacting the IRS because my husband and I would want to file jointly.

Probably not, at least for federal tax purposes. You became emancipated on your marriage, and were not a dependent from then on. It is unlikely he paid more than half of your support for the year, unless you and your husband lived with him after you got married.

No because you had to live with him the entire year...once you got married the law looks at you as an adult and you can't be your parent's dependant outside of extreme circumstances.

I am sure he has the right to claim you since he supported you for most of the year. I am not an authority on the subject, but this seems fair to me.

only if you let him.. he can until your 19 if you let him, but because your now married and have your own family to raise why would you let him and why would he be so disrespectful of you and your husband to even try. If my parents would have tried that I would have either beat their a s s for disrespecting me or called the IRS and told them that he wasn't suppose to claim me

if you lived with him till you got married he can claim you for that period of time - but your mother can not - only one parent can

Probably not- you were a married woman on 12/31.
