Legal Question in Family Law in Connecticut
I'm a divorced mother of 2 teenaged daughters. This month my child support stopped both girls out of high school now. I have physcial custody, we share joint custody, we each claim 1 child on taxes. The question I have is If there is no child support being sent does the father still claim a child (she is 20 and works full time) or can I claim both since they live with me?

You really need to speak to a CPA who can answer your tax questions especially regarding whether either one of you can claim adult children.

It will also depend on what your divorce decree says.
