What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon / Washington
My kids and their mother live with her parents in Oregon; yes that means no bills and zero responsibility. Their mother, my ex, got married to a guy living in Washington just a few months ago. The kids have not moved up there, their official address and school remains 3 hours south here in Oregon, and there are no plans for them to live with him without going to court first.
Based on our current custody agreement this year (tax year 2014) their mother, her new husband is not specified, gets to claim two of my kids provided she worked. She did work and made a little money, however her new husband claimed the kids on a joint return raking in a lot of money for kids who do not live with him and who he sees less than I (their real father) do.
I know she is legally allowed to claim two of the kids and I do not have a problem with her claiming them; however I hate gold diggers like her new husband who take other peoples money. Is it really legal for her new husband to claim kids who don't live with him and who he does not see or support more than maybe 1 weekend a month?
In the past she always makes so little that I claim all the kids and give her more than the difference that she would have gotten. This year she thinks she has found a new money pot to tap into, has she and is this legal?
