I am separated from my daughter's father (never married) and am the custodial parent. Under our Child Support order he gets to claim her on "odd" years and I get to claim her on "even" years. He gets to claim her for 2001 so I will have to file "single" (as she is my only dependent). Here's my question: If he claims her as an exemption and I am filing single am I still able to take deductions for her medical expenses, dental expenses, day care that I paid out in 2001? I understand it is only fair for him to claim her, however I feel I should get some credit for the money I paid out as well. Thanks for any info. Joanna.
