Thank you. That helps alot. I will file by mail and wait to hear from the IRS. I know that he(the father) is not on the girlfriends tax return and he should according to our court order return the dependent back to me. Not a girlfriend. I am hesitant to spend any of the money i will receive just in case but i certainly dont think i am the one in the wrong here.. in the future if he was to claim him will i have to sign the 8332 form in order for the father to use our child as a dependent? Or is the court order enough for him to file with?
