Can the custodial parent claim both children and the earned income credit on their tax return if the non-custodial parent is behind on child support but usually you each claim one child?
The custodial Parent has the right to claim both children, but in your case if the NC parent is behind they will automatically take it from their tax refund anyway. But as with any agreement if it states the NC gets to claim one then you can only claim one. If there is not an agreement in that way, then the custodial has the right. The arrears owed to the C has no affect on the claiming rights of another.
Can i claim my son on my taxes and i pay child support but haven't seen my son all year?
In order to claim someone as an exemption the IRS says that you must provide more than half of that person's total support in a calendar year. A special rule was created by the IRS in order to resolve the question of dependency and who gets the exemption.The rule states that the parent who has custody for the greater part of the year is the custodial parent and that the parent will be treated as the person who has provided more than half of the child's support. In other words if your ex-spouse pays more toward the child's expenses than you do but you spend more time with the child and are responsible for the majority of child care you will get the child dependency exemption. You, the custodial parent who spends the most time with the child can claim the child as your dependent.The non-custodial parent can claim the exemption if both parents agree and the following criteria are met:A written agreement signed by the custodial parent stating that he/she will not claim the child as a dependent.A final decree of divorce that states the custodial parent will not claim the exemption for the tax year and the non-custodial parent attaches the appropriate documentation to his/her tax return.A final decree of divorce that provides for the non-custodial parent to claim the child as a dependent along with a statement that at least $600 was in fact given in support to the custodial parent.The non-custodial parent must fill out a form 8332 from the IRS. The custodial parent and non-custodial parent must both sign the form and then it should be attached to the non-custodial parent's tax return.
Both parents claim a child. The court order states the non custodial parent has the right to claim thechild. Will the IRS honor the court order?
Yes/NoIRS DeductionRegardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year.The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent.Time spent in Day Care and/or School is deducted from the total.A Different PerspectiveThe parent who does not have the right to claim the children per the court order is in contempt of that order. The non-custodial parent should return to court to file a contempt. Discuss the information provided above with an attorney and with the court. It may need to update/modify the order.

How can you tell if your daughters mother claimed her on her taxes if she lives with you?
Be mature and ask.... The IRS has pretty strict rules for determining who can claim a dependent, and for the most part it's the custodial parent (the one she lives with more than half the year) unless it's either specifically stated in the divorce decree and/or the custodial parent signs a form agreeing not to claim the child and allowing the noncustodial parent to do so. If neither of those are the case, and you know you can prove that you are, in fact, the custodial parent, you can go ahead and claim her. If the IRS computers kick out the forms because the same SSN showed up on both, you can prove your claim is valid, and she won't be able to.

What is another name for custodial interference?
Another name for custodial interference could be parental alienation. If the parent is not allowing the child(ren) to see the other parent or has interfered in a way that the children are so angry that they now don't want to see that parent, it is alienation.This is a difficult thing to prove in court and deal with, but any type of custodial interference, where one parent is preventing the other from his or her visitation needs to be taken to the courthouse so a judge can put a stop to it. Children need both parents in their lives, unless there is a proven reason that it is not in the children's best interest to be with that other parent.

In my state I know for fact that the custodial parent has the right to claim child/children over non custodial. I went through this last year.Visiting parent claimed the kids before I went and did my taxes.I was not able to file because he claimed them first.Then I proved proof that I was custodial parent and I was able to file and got all of the monies I was supposed to.They informed me that he would have to payback all the monies owed to the IRS that he was not supposed to get. Now if you have a arrangement in writing or by court order then it will they go by that.
