What do you do if the father of your child claims her on his taxes and does not have custody?

In order for a non-custodial parent to claim a child as a dependent he has to meet some pretty stringent guidelines that basically amount to either getting your explicit permission on a specific IRS form that says he can do so (and that you're not going to for that year), or having it in the divorce decree that you will not claim the child and that he is allowed to do so (depending on exactly when you got divorced, he may still have to have you sign the form even if the divorce decree says so).
So, if you know he's done this without your permission and there's nothing in the divorce decree about it, you CAN report him to the IRS. They tend to take a rather dim view of this sort of thing.

Who can file a child on there taxes if the parents was never marriage but both have joint custody who can file?
In general, the custodial parent claims the child for tax purposes. If the court does not make any orders about the tax deduction, then the custodial parent automatically claims the child as a dependent for tax purposes. The IRS income tax rules say that the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year receives the deduction. If the custody time is equal, parents can switch each year who gets the deduction.
What if there is no custodial parent and parents share custody evenly how do you determine who claims the child on their taxes?

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.
