Can a mother's boyfriend claim her child on taxes even if he has no legal custody?

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.


Can your mother claim your son on her taxes if you owe back child support?

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.

Is a step mother claiming to be the mother on medical forms considered filing a false instrument?

That depends on the purpose of the forms. If you have any doubts, before completing the form you should ask if it is appropriate for you to sign the form because you are a step-parent or explain your parental relationship to the person who is asking you to sign the form. Even if you have already signed the forms, if you have provided accurate information and not misrepresented your parental relationship, you should have nothing to be concerned about. However, if you claim to be something that you are not, such as the child's birth parent, when you are not, or claim an authority that you do not have, such as legal guardianship when you are not the child's legal guardian, then you may have a problem. The meaning of Mother, Father, Parent or Guardian can even change from form to form, depending on the situation and what is legally required in law. Usually, Mother, Father or Parent will mean the people who have the day to day care for the child, as these people will normally be the ones responsible for paying any bills and looking after the child after any medical procedure, so should be able to decide what is in the child's best interests and can give informed consent if the child cannot do so. However, in some circumstances a Legal Guardian is required to consent to treatment. Usually this will be a parent, though only the birth mother automatically is a child's Guardian in all cases. A father becomes a child's guardian because he is acknowledged by the child's mither as the father. If a child is adopted, guardianship is transferred to the adopted parents and the birth parents lose guardianship. In other situations guardianship depends on the local law, custom, and decisions of the Courts. Guardianship usually ends when a child becomes an adult. If you have any doubts about your legal situation you should consult a lawyer.

What is the length of time for someone to claim child support?

The length of time for someone to claim child support can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
