I read this which made me concerned:
When you amend your filed taxes to include Form 8332, which allows your ex-wife to claim your child as a dependent, it could indeed affect your filing status if you were previously claiming the Head of Household (HoH) status based on the eligibility of that child. The Head of Household status has specific requirements, including paying for more than half of the household expenses and having a qualifying person live with you for more than half of the year. (WHICH I MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS)
If the only qualifying person you could claim for the HoH status is the child you are now allowing your ex-wife to claim, you might no longer meet the requirements for the HoH status. In such a case, if you do not have another qualifying person (such as another dependent child or a qualifying relative who meets the criteria), you might need to change your filing status to Single. (THISPART CONCERNS ME)
