Re: claimant on taxes

Your sister should retain an attorney to file a complaint in the probate court either for child support or a modification or contempt, as appropriate, and get an enforcible order for child support and for the right to claim the tax exemption, a copy of which can then be sent to the IRS to support her claim for the exemption. Good Luck
