It sounds like your son's rights have been violated in a number of ways, and he should probably seek the advice of a Florida lawyer on those issues. But as far as the tax issue is concerned, unless a court order says otherwise, the IRS allows the deduction to the parents who has the children the majority of the time. If your son takes the deduction, the IRS may allow it, but he wouldn't be strictly according to IRS regulations or Florida law. He should speak with a Florida lawyer before he takes the deduction.
