How does divorce affect children psychologically?
divorce and it's affects on children vary and depend on the children, and the situation of the divorce. the younger the children are, the less they understand about the divorce. some blame themselves, and some blame one of the parents, if not both. sometimes, when the child is left with a single parent, who usually is the mother the child will either blame and resent that parent for messing up the unity that the child once saw that parent having with the no longer present spouse, or the child will form a very deep bond with that parent for fear of losing the one parent that child has left. the substitution of another person to fill in the role of the parent who either left or is not in that child's life as much by introducing a step parent can be tricky and in some cases not healthy. one should never try to compel a child to call a step parent "mom" or "dad", unless the kid wants to do so on their own. Beware of abusive step parents and allow free communication from child to see if step parent might be abusive behind closed doors.

Why do divorced parents guilt trip their children?
A loving parent would not intentionally make the child feel guilty for a divorce. In many respects, they tend to overcompensate by spending more money on the child, since there is less time that can be spent with the child. There can be cases of unintentional guilt. However, some parents use the child as a weapon against the other parent. Usually this parent is bitter about the divorce, and seek control as a form of revenge. Regardless, once a child is an adult, he can live his or her own life. They can also choose to seek professional therapy to deal with any lingering guilt issues. (ps: I am not a trained or educated psychologist. These are just my opinons).

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.
Can it be part of the divorce decree who gets to claim the children for tax purposes?
Yes, but that is not the end of the story.The divorce decree can specify who gets to claim the dependent exemption for the child for income tax purposes. However, there is a specific attachment the noncustodial parent must file with his or her tax return each year to claim the exemption.In general, the IRS allows the custodial parent to claim the dependency exemption. The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater part of the year. The other parent is the noncustodial parent. If the parents divorced or separated during the year and the child lived with both parents before the separation, the custodial parent is the one with whom the child lived for the greater part of the rest of the year.The rules as to when the noncustodial parent can claim the exemption changed effective for tax years beginning after July 2, 2008 (the 2009 calendar year for most taxpayers.)POST-2008 DECREE OR AGREEMENTFor divorce decrees that went into effect after 2008, the custodial parent must sign Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent(or a similar form,) and give the signed form to the noncustodial parent to release the exemption. The noncustodial parent must attach that form to his or her tax return to claim the exemption that year.The noncustodial parent can no longer attach certain pages from a divorce decree or separation agreement instead of Form 8332 if the decree or agreement was executed after 2008.The custodial parent can specify on Form 8332 the release applies to only the current tax year or all future tax years. To help ensure future support, you may not want to release your claim to the exemption for the child for future years.POST-1984 / PRE-2009 DECREE OR AGREEMENTIf the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent can still attach certain pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form 8332.However, the custodial parent who gave up the exemption via the divorce decree does not appear to be without recourse. See "To revoke a prior release of exemption" below.PRE-1985 DECREE OR AGREEMENTThe rules are again slightly different if the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect before 1985. See the instructions for Form 8332 if that applies to your situation.TO REVOKE A PRIOR RELEASE OF EXEMPTIONForm 8332 can also be used to revoke a prior release of exemption. The revocation is effective no earlier than the tax year beginning in the calendar year following the calendar year in which the custodial parent provides, or makes reasonable efforts to provide, the noncustodial parent with written notice of the revocation.For example, if the custodial parent provides notice of revocation to the noncustodial parent in 2009, the earliest tax year the revocation can be effective is the tax year beginning in 2010. You can use Part III of Form 8332 for this purpose.You must attach a copy of the revocation to your return for each tax year you claim the child as a dependent as a result of the revocation. You must also keep for your records a copy of the revocation and evidence of delivery of the notice to the noncustodial parent, or of reasonable efforts to provide actual notice.
