What is the name of your state? IN
This divorce is not final, but close.
The mom was/is a full-time stay-at-home-Mom by mutual agreement of Mom & Dad prior to their seeking a divorce. She gave up a career, has the capacity to earn a living, and is educated so finding a job should not be a problem. Bottom line is that she does not work right now.
Soon to be EX-husband has been the primary bread-winner during the past few years of the marriage. He wants the right to claim both children (there are only 2) on future taxes period until they reach 18. His attorney says this is fair since the Mom does not work and contributes no financial support to the children.
What does IN law say because I have been unable to find the answer and the Mom is without an attorney right now. She will undoubtedly be looking for a job soon since child support is not enough to survive on.
Should Mom hold out to claim one of the children or does the law say she does not have a right to claim one of the children?
And this does not even include their disagreement over the recently delivered tax refund check for future 2003 child tax credit.
