In a divorce, how is claiming dependents on taxes decided?

Matthew Kyle Simcox
Answered by attorney Matthew Kyle Simcox (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Simcox Law Firm, P.L.L.C.
This is a case where federal law dictates the answer.  Under the Internal Revenue Code, the parent who is the primary custodian gets to claim the children.  Sometimes in divorce cases we make provisions regarding who gets to claim them, but the federal government doesn't care one bit about what a State court rules. So, to answer your question, it sounds like you get to claim them under federal law.  You may, because you are a nice person, allow her to claim them, but that is solely your decision.  If you both claim both children, then ultimately, when the IRS flags your returns, you sir would win the battle.  At least that is my understanding of how that works. Good luck.

In order to file for an uncontested divorce, you need to be able to get your husband to sign a document known as a "Waiver of Citation." Otherwise, you will need to file a divorce petition in your county, attempt to serve him with the paperwork, allow him to answer the divorce petition, and try to come to an agreement about what will happen with the property the two of you acquired during your marriage. For more information, please contact 713-574-8626. I'd be happy to help.

What procedures do I need to take, if I got a marriage license with someone that was already married?

Answered by attorney Jacob Schwab Ginsberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ginsberg & Associates
You need to file for annulment of the marriage. Annulments are different than a divorce because you have to prove fraud. That should not be difficult if he told you he was single when he married you.
