Not on taxes no. The parent the child lives with has the main right to claim the child. But if that parent can't or doesn't want to then the other parent can
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.

Typically, the caretaker is the custodian.
I meant to say "from the other parent" not "for the other parent"
Not under normal circumstances. The custodial parent does not have to claim child support as taxable income and generally the custodial parent is the one who can claim the child as a dependent deduction.
No
You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time. With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
The custodial parent is the parent in which the child resides with. My son lives with me and I am the custodial parent, his dad has visitation rights and pays child support.

No, but parents do it anyway, as well as claim abduction.
If they are the child's legal parent yes. The only way that they might be unresponsible is if the other parent had sole physical and legal custody. If they have joint custody but the child lives most of the time with the other parent they are still responsible.
