Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Support, Taxes?

No its not true.

First, you need to see if the support order mentions who get the deduction, child credit and possible the daycare expense credit. If the order states who gets it then that is who gets it.

If the support order didn't say you look to the custody order may say who gets to claim the child as a deduction. If that doesn't say there is an IRS test to see who gets the deduction but its not an easy test.

I can't say there is enough information to say who would get the deduction.

Feel free to contact me. The initial consultation is free.
