Question related to this long thread on form 8332.
Does the non custodial parent still need to pay at least half of the costs to support the child in which they want to claim? If they do not meet the tests of this, the. The child does not qualify as a dependent? And if there are certain qualifying rules or tests that the IRS has in place to say yes or no this child does or does not meet the criteria for you to claim as a dependent; then in my mind a state or lower level judge should not be able to order a person to sign the form.
I am a custodial parent . In our divorce (2019) the agreement Is that she can claim one of our two children every year as long as she is current on child support. She only pays $127 per week for two kids and I carry them on my insurance. The child support doesn’t come close to coving the cost of their insurance every month, let alone any and all other costs. She doesn’t come anywhere near paying for half of the support for the children , should a judge be able to make me sign 8332?
