What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? AL
My ex-wife claimed one of our two children in which she hasn't claimed in a couple of years due to inability to support them I stepped in and went to court to get custody in which I got in 2006. I've claimed both since then even though our original decree states we're to each claim one. I hadn't taken her to court to get her to pay child support until this year because she's taken no interest in their lives. This year she decides to file and claim one and when I file it's rejected for two claims for one s.s. number. That's gonna cost me $1225 if I let it go. I have custody and they both live with me all year with not even one night spent with their mother. Do I have the right to claim even though the decree hasn't been updated or does the IRS see things differently? Will I be in contempt of court if I file and win the IRS judgement for the tax credit?
