Re: Joint Custody
The question as to who shall claim your daughter as a tax deduction must be negotiated between the parties before the divorce is settled. Many times, when there is only one child, the parties alternate the deduction year by year.
Notwithstanding the fact that your husband visits with your child every other weekend, he is certainly obligated to pay child support.
