If your not divorced or separated and are just considering (thinking about it) divorce, than it should not be a problem. I would suggest calling the IRS and ask them this question. You don't have to give them your name. If your not comfortable calling the IRS than call one of your local tax preparers like H&R Block and ask.

Often the divorce settlement will include specifics about who may claim whom as dependents, if both parties agree. Generally, in order to claim someone as a dependent you must provide more than 50% of their total support. Thus, if you paid $20,000 to support your wife, you could claim her if her income was $10,000, but not if she made $40,000.

Divorce Attorneys Protect You?

Divorce attorneys definitely protect you from falling into court mess. They try their best to settle the matter outside the court as much as possible or on the counselling stage. A good lawyer is the one who tries to save the parties from getting divorce and protecting you when a divorce is not essential. And also the who strives for a divorce when it is essential. Such good divorce lawyer I shall say is Siddhartha Shah & Associates and you can call them on 093222 86663 for more details.


Can a divorced or widowed woman becomes a Roman Catholic nun?

Widowed, yes, but the divorce concept is against the teaching of the Catholic church. Unless the divorce was allowed by the church, you may have a hard time to get into being a nun. Of course, there maybe certain exceptions to this, such as a difficult marriage ect, but this divorce should have been removed by the Church first before you can considering becoming a nun.
