If you got papers saying y'all got to take turns claiming and the other parent don't. You can always take them to court. Just go ahead and file and claim the child. You will get a paper from the irs asking are you the one legally able to claim the child. You will need to get proof up saying you are. And Mail all info that will help you out back to irs. If they are happy with your paper work then you want have nothing else to worry about and want here anything else from them. And the other parent will have to pay back the eic( earn income credit). If they did not like what you sent then they might audit you for the money back. But in the end it pretty much who ever claims child first kgets the money. For parents who have joint.
