What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kentucky
My wife and I have been separated since October 08. We have one child (age 3). We have not yet finalized our divorce or settled on custody/visitation. The only day we have had in court thus far was an emergency hearing because she was without any visitation from me. The judge ruled (in November) I would have standard visitation and she would have him the majority of the time until we could have a full hearing (date hasn't arrived yet).
Obviously, our divorce is not finalized and she and I are not on speaking terms at this time.
How should I file (single? married filing separately?) this year and which of us should claim the child?
