Tax exemptions and claiming children

[sugarsweet821]

What is the name of your state? Wisconsin

Okay here is the senerio.....My fiancee and i have lived together sence August of 2004. He has payed for myself and my daughters up keep more than 50% up until Sept of this year. Now i can some what pay for it but he still probly pays for more than 50%. Can he legally claim us on his taxes because we have lived with him for at least 6 months and he pays for more than 50% . I hear very mixed responces on this so i want an actual tax lawyers responce. ( well as long as you know stuff about taxes you can answer or have delt with a similure experiance) I have heard this from people who have spoken with tax lawyers and they say yes but i have heard from H&R block people say no but others at H&R Block People say yes so what is the actual answer.
