How about it the original divorce ruling has couple of vague sentences under the Child Support section stating “The Husband shall be entitled to any dependency exception or tax credit permissible by law.  The Wife shall execute any IRS form required to allow the Husband to claim such exception, if available.”  
They don’t specifically mention Form 8332.  The custodial parents (wife)  attorney believes children don’t qualify as dependents for Husband as the statement indicates “if available” and they didn’t reside with him even 20% of the time.  Can a judge force wife to sign Form 8332 if the original divorce language isn’t specific?
