Legal Question in Family Law in Iowa

I have shared custody of child with ex wife & child lives with ex more. But judge gave me all tax rights because of amount being paid for support. Now the feds have changed the tax law and the ex wife says the tax right offs are hers, wouldn't she be in contempt of court if she takes the child tax deduction without changing the divorce decree first?

Maybe. You'd have to go to court to enforce the terms and conditions of the custody and support agreement. She doesn't get to change it unilaterally.
