No
As long as you can prove paternity (if needed) and you provide for the child, you can.
My child has to pay for lunch can I claim that on my taxes?
If he has no taxable expenses in the child then he cant claim on tax.
Whether you can claim the children on your taxes depends on your divorce agreement. Only one parent can claim per year, in any case.
At one time in The United States whoever paid 51% of the children's expenses could claim the children as dependents on their taxes. You will need to check the latest tax laws wherever you are.
If he was responsible for over 50% of the cost of the child, he can claim the child as a dependent. That would mean that no one else was entitled to claim the child, including the father and mother.
If the father provides more than 50% of the support for the child, he is entitled to claim the children on his taxes. Consult an attorney or contact Legal Aid (for free or low-cost legal advice)
No, it requires a minimum of 51% of the days.
Probably not because it's sounding like she takes care of & supports the child, not you.
My child was in the Job Corps last year, can I still claim him on my federal income taxes as a dependant?
No you can not claim a child who is married
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.
