Normally, the custody agreement would specify which parent could claim the child for tax.
While one may expect the parents without income wouldn't care about additional deductions...for purposes of the child tax credit, income isn't needed - hence they get the credit as cash, not a deduction. The parents essentially get paid for having the children---they get back more tax from the gov't than they pay!
No, if you had physical custody for less than 50% of the year (182 days or less out of 365), you cannot claim the child as a dependent and thus you would not qualify for any child tax credits.
I'm trying and failing to conceive of a scenario in which a person might even for a second think this could possibly be legal. So, you're not the child's parent, and the child doesn't live with you, and yet, somehow, you think there's a chance you might be able to claim them on your taxes?
In an attempt to take this seriously: there's a worksheet in the tax instructions designed to help you figure out if you can claim someone as a dependent. Fill that out, and it will answer your question.
No...only the parent claiming the dependent on their taxes can claim the child tax credit. They go hand in hand.
This is worked out in the divorce decree; who gets to claim the child. I think you can alternate yearly --- but you both can't claim the child the same year.
A noncustodial parent can prevent the custodial parent from leaving the state with a baby or child. The court will decide if the custodial parent has just cause to leave the state.
no
No the custodial parent has to have either the courts permission or the non-custodians permission.
No.
for what?
If the noncustodial parent tries to keep the child, the custodial parent can get the noncustodial parent charged with kidnapping and contempt of court both can be jail time for the noncustodial.
Yes, they do.
No, the child goes into the care of custodial parents relatives. A motion for emergency change of custody is required. see my profile.
No, a non custodial parent can not take a child out of state without the custodial parents permission. The non custodial parent could be charged with kidnapping if charges are brought against them.
Child support needs to be decided on by the court. In most cases, the noncustodial parent is responsible for something. If the custodial parent makes considerably more than the noncustodial parent, monies many not even be exchanged. To resolve this issue, it is best to file papers at your court house.
none
This is hard to answer because there can be many variables involved. The noncustodial parent may contest the move and take the custodial parent to court to show cause. But it may not be possible for the noncustodial parent to actually prevent the move unless the move is out of state.
