My sons live with me all year. During our divorce (6 years ago), my ex and I agreed to share claiming them on our taxes. Our sons reside with me 90% of the year. My family attorney says I have a right to claim them since the state had no right to rule on a federal tax issue. What can I do to claim my sons every year if my ex will not agree to a new contract?
