You asked in the wrong place.

As for the tax aspects, you need to see a CPA. Unless you have paid a great deal of child support (and from your post you obviously could not have), you probably do not get the tax deduction.

As for the legal situation, the state where she now is probably has jurisidiction and you need to hire a lawyer there for the divorce. You waited too long after she left to deal with the child here, as she has been out of state six months.
