What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I was never married to my daughter’s father. I have always been the one to claim her on my taxes. He didn’t start to pay child support until my daughter was 3 ½ years old. She is now 5.
We do have Joint Custody and there is a child support order through the court, which he is always behind in paying and never consistent with paying.
The Day Care expenses I pay are not and have not been included in the Child Support order because when the order was put into place I was laid off and didn’t have any daycare expenses which was 3 ½ years ago.
My question is can her father just go claim my daughter on his taxes. This was something that was never worked out in court. I told him not to claim her because I am going to. I agreed to go to court about this to discuss it for next year. He did get his W2 forms already and I haven’t gotten mine so obviously he’d be able to do his taxes first. How can he claim the Daycare Expenses when he doesn’t pay for them. I am the one that handles most of her bills.
Please help me with any advice.
