What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA (Original court order is in NY).
I divorced 7 years ago. I have two children and agreed in our divorce agreement that my ex husband would claim my daughter and I would claim my son on our taxes. Two years ago my ex-husband became incacerated (for 9 years) and only paid 4 months of support in 2009. His mother is his POA and when she filed his taxes she listed my daughter as a dependent on his return. She did this to spite me, as she does not like me. I contacted her after receiving a letter of ammendment from the IRS and she told me she did it because my ex paid support in 2009. But he only paid 4 months worth. So my question is being that it is in the divorce agreement can she do this? Or can I fight it since he hadn't paid the full year, not to mention he won't be paying for the next nine years?
