Does a father have to pay more child support if he claims child?
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.
Can you sue a parent for claiming a child on taxes when you have court orders to claim them?
If the court has given costudy of the child to you and the child lives with you and you are the provider, but the other parent claims the child on his/hers taxes, this is illigal. Not only you can sue, but you need to report this person to the IRS and let them deal with him.
Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.
Does a father paying support have a right to claim the child on their taxes if it was not previously established?
You need to check your state laws and your divorce decree very carefully. In some states the custodial working parent has a statutory right to claim the child. You should consult with an attorney.
What if one parent has custody of a child can the other claim the child on taxes?
== == When parents are divorced, the use of the children's exemptions is generally determined by the decree. It has nothing to do with who pays for what. The parent with whom the children reside for over 50% of the year may claim Head of Household status. At no time may both parents claim the same children in the same year on separate income tax returns. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
