In Ohio, this issue is usually dealt with in the Entry that the Court filed to close up your case. If the Court did not determine who gets the tax deduction, and/or if the decree says the other party gets the deduction but something has changed that you feel makes it more equitable that you get the tax deduction, then you could file a motion to modify the order.
