You do not want to provide details/specifics of the support paid. ....but the details matter. There is no such thing as 50/50 custody. One parent had child A or child B for more than half the time. The parent who had the child----whether we are referring to child A or child B-- for at least 183 nights is the custodial parent who can file as HOH for that particular child. It is not just about what you pay "when" the child is in your home. As far as the IRS is concerned, only the custodial parent can file as HOH when you are referring to a child of parents who are divorced or who live apart and share custody. So if you want to file as HOH, you need a child who can be claimed as a qualifying dependent on your tax return.
