In 2011 a judge ordered to have our child claim every other year one year me the next his dad until the child is 18. I am the custodial parent, the child always been with me and we have done the taxes that way since 2011, I never signed any form, I read in previous posts here about a form people sign or are forced to sign I never signed any authorization until this day giving his father any authorization.
The child turned 18 Aug 2019 I claimed him in 2018 ... does the father has the right to claim him for 2019, when the child is already 18, never lived with him and does not get financial support from him?
My CPA says I can claim him but will be audited because he did claimed first, I pay his college and now I am facing loosing the money for his tuition because his father claimed him first when he knows he is already 18, goes to college and he does not help in any way. Would I be in contempt if his father takes me to court when the child is already 18? His father lives in a different state. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED Thank You
