What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIFORNIA
Title pretty much says it all- I am unmarried but living with the father of my 3 children. My boyfriend pays rent and utilities, I pay day care, and we split food and entertainment. My boyfriend makes more money and therefore benefits from claiming the children on his tax returns more than I do. But in the event that we separate, will his claiming the children as dependents give him a better edge in court of getting custody than me, or does it not matter? Thank you!
