I am in Florida. In my divorce judgement the court ordered that my ex husband and I each claim only one of our two children. I am not filing this year as I was a stay at home mom and did not have the income to neccessitate filing. My ex husband has claimed both our children on his return stating that because they lived with him more than 6 months of the year the IRS says he can. They lived with me for the same amount of time (we divorced in July and have equal shared physical custody). He states that because he meets the IRS requirement the judgement and order of the court does not matter. Is this so and if it is not how do I go about handling the situation? Thank you.
