My fiance is considered the custodial parent, as the court order states. The children are split 50/50 in time and financial support, and the court orders state that the mother is entitled to claim the youngest every year on taxes, and the father can claim the oldest son. So the mother isn't expecting to receive any credits for her oldest, as the order states she can only claim the youngest. Their father was injured in 2022 and has an ongoing workers compensation lawsuit. He has no income for 2024. Being that I provided the support for our household in place of their father, wouldn't that qualify the oldest son as my dependent; being that he lived at our house and equal amount of the year, I provided the support, and there is a court agreement stating that the father has the tax claim? Can I claim both my fiance and his oldest son as my dependents? Again, his mother is not assuming she will receive any credit for him because she is only entitled to claim the youngest.
Thanks
