If you are filing as married and the child's other parent does not claim them, or is disallowed from claiming 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.
