Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
My ex husband and I agreed in our divorce agreement that he would claim both of our children on his income tax return for federal, state and local and we would split all the income tax returns evenly. Last year he claimed the kids but did not give me any of the money so I called my attorney and I would have to take my ex back to court to get the money that my ex husband owes me but I owe my attorney $400.00 and I would have to pay my attorney another $1000.00 just to take my ex husband back to court and I don't have the money to do it. I find this to be very unfair cause my ex does not have anything to do with the kids at all, he has not seen them in over 6 months but he does pay $269.21 bi-weekly for child support so my question is, is there any way I could claim the kids on my income tax return with out getting in trouble? He has already backed out of the agreement so why shouldn't I? I do not currently have a job and am living with my parents so I don't think I will be even getting a W-2 unless I can claim the child support and if I can not claim them could my parents? My children and I have been living with my parents for over a year now.

When contempt cases like this go back to court, if the other party has been found to be in contempt, that person is then responsible for all attorneys fees and court costs, as well as the money owed the former spouse.
