Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My divorce was filed in 2010 and finalized in 2011. The decree states my ex can claim our youngest as an exemption and at the time of the divorce I also signed an 8332 releasing that claim. At the time of divorce I didnt really understand the full impact of what this meant. I have both children more than 50% of the time and pay over half of their support. I have since used part III of the 8332 to revoke the release of exemption, but was wondering if I can be held in comtempt due to it also being in the decree?

Yes, if the decree states who has the right to claim the exemption, and you violate the order, you could (conceivably) be held in contempt.
