Has your bd claimed your child before you? I'm worried my ex, who has zero custody, is going to try to claim my son. He already claims him for his fasfa, and gets a ton back. It wouldn't put it past me to think he'd do the same. We have court 1/24 to determine everything, and I plan on taking him for back child support.

He never has. He used to ask but I never would let him. -
Does your custody papers state who can. Usually it is the parent who has primary custody. In my case through my divorce I claim one boy every other year. -
I always claim them...I just helps so I don't owe the govt AS much.. he doesn't have taxable income..so he doesn't file taxes. -
I have been wondering about taxes.. this will be the first year we file seperately. I have primary custody. I'm not sure he's even going to file because I asked him straight up if taxes are taken out of his VA payments and he's like "oh, i dunno.'
he's such a moron.

No. I have sole custody of my kids. My ex gets no visitation (court ordered). You need toget to court asap and have legal papers stating who does what. Or else there's nothing you can do. -
Dispute it with the IRS if he does. They will investigate and hold his money until a decision is made. If you can prove custody for over a certain time I think 6mts, you can file taxes. http://taxes.about.com/od/deductionscredits/qt/childtaxcredit.htm

i cant file because i dont work and my ex is in jail.

My ex can't.
I have sole custody, an he knows better. If he even TRIED to claim her I would claim her too and then he would have to prove that he provides 50% or more of her needs for her, which would be hard considering the last time he gave me money was march of 2011 -- $200 lol. -
