Hello,
I had 2 questions regarding how divorce affects filing your taxes.
First question is, my ex and I divorced in Sept. 2002. As we were married for the majority of 2002, we were wondering what status we should file as (married?, head-of-household?, etc.).
Second question is in regards to child care (or dependent care). As the non-custodial parent, I pay a portion of my kids' child care expenses (outside of the normal child support I pay). Can I claim these expenses on my tax returns next year? Also, as my ex is also paying a portion of this child care, how do figure out how to both claim these expenses (she is using a Dependent Care account at her work).
Thanks!
