To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year. So the mother in this case can claim her grandson on her taxes if she supported the child for at least 183 days out of the year, regardless of whether or not the mother of the child owes back child support.

Can a parent claim a child on their taxes if they have already gave up rights to the child?
You can only claim a child on your taxes if you provide at least 50% of the FINANCIAL support (through mortgage, food, clothing, education, etc.) for the child. If you provided at least 50% of the support for the child, then you can claim the child for the tax year in which you provided the support.

If I pay child support and the mother of my children does not work can her boyfriend claim them without my consent?
Generally, if their mother is not claiming the children on her federal tax return then you have the right to claim them on yours. The amount of support you pay may be an issue if your support is minimal and the boyfriend is paying for more than half of their financial support. You may need to file your own taxes as soon as possible to have your tax return on record first. There are variables in this situation and you should speak with a tax professional.See additional information at the link.https://www.sapling.com/7937838/can-claim-child-his-taxes

Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.
Does a father have to pay more child support if he claims child?
I can only assume you mean claiming the child on your taxes. If you pay child support on a child and claim that child on your taxes, you are committing tax fraud. You can only claim a child on your taxes if you are providing most of his support and that includes he has to be living with you for most of the tax year. How much a father pays does not necessarily relate to him claiming the child on his tax return. You need to review your court orders. They should address who gets to claim the child as a dependent for tax purposes. If not set forth in the order then check your state laws. Most states provide that the custodial parent gets to claim the child for all of the reasons set forth above.
Is it legal for a parent paying child support to claim him if he lives all year round with mother?
Usually if you are paying fifty percent or more of the living needs of the child, you can declare the child. Check with a tax service to be sure. IRS rules are the child must reside with a parent at least 51% of the time to claim them on taxes.
Can a judgment for the right to claim dependents on taxes be valid if no longer on child support?
It can be. The one does not automatically invalidate the other.
