Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

In South Carolina how can a prior court order be modified if it allows for a father to file a child on their taxes every other year, but the father moved out of the State thereby not meeting the federal guideline to file a child since the child has never lived with him and the IRS has already ruled on this issue finding that mother is the only one with a right to file the child?

You could petition the Court to try to modify the tax dependency exemption, but you will be required to show a significant change of circumstances.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
