Re: Child claiming right on tax refund
the issue of taking a child for tax purposes is dependent on your divorce decree, separation agreement or if neither of those things deals with the issue, then on the basis of who provides more than 50% of the support for the child. It is not unreasonable where two children are involved for each parent take one deduction.
Good Luck.
