What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Louisiana
I need help! According to the IRS, publication 504, I'm the cp (custodial parent) and I have the right to claim both my minor children (according to the special rule). I determined this after answering all questions asked by the publication, I even double checked to make sure I didn't miss anything...everything says I have the right unless I sign form 8332, which i haven't and don't intend to. It is not stated in the divorce decree that the ncp (my ex-husband) gets to claim them. The problem is under 'Louisiana state R.S. 9:315.18 schedule information C' it's stating quite the opposite and yesterday I was served with papers, and now my ex-husband is taking me to court, he wants to claim both children. Who is right? State or Federal? I'm desperate because I may be representing myself in court and I don't want to look like an ass. Please help me
