Hi Robert:
Thank you again for your response.
The decree did not specify an end to date to my ability/right to claim her.
I had a difficult time interpreting the support test of the dependent child qualification. When you read the support test, it only says that the child could not have provided more than 50% of own support. In other words, because they are not supporting themselves and cannot claim themselves on a tax return, then they are able to be claimed by somebody else.
However, some of the things that I read online related to the support test did actually mention the parent who supports more than 50% of the child, which is a different interpretation of the support test.
I am not sure which one is the right interpretation of that particular test.
After reading the above and understanding that this (The accuracy of either me or my ex-husband claiming our daughter as a dependent) really comes down to this exact point, if anyone else can weigh in on the interpretation of the support test when determining qualifying child for dependent status, it would be most appreciated.
