Basically true. I have never signed the 8332 form. My ex is the non-custodial parent but was deemed “entitled to the child state and federal tax exemption” for multiple years in a row.
In my experience he has not had a problem claiming our child without the form. Even though our child is with the other parent minimally he is also scooping up the stimulus checks for her while I pay for childcare even more so during the pandemic.
It does not seem fair, but in my experience family court judges do not like having anything they do questioned and since a parent is at their mercy as far as parenting time etc. it seems these glitches are not addressed nearly as often as they should be.
