We were never married, she just resides with him. I have filed my own taxes and have never had the 8332 form signed, is is the first time I have heard about it. Chances are, he's not going to sign anything for me, or he'll give me the run around. Since it is court ordered does that form have to be signed?
If court ordered then he could be held in contempt of court if he refuses to sign it.
(This assumes that the child physically lived with *him* and not you. If the child lived with *you* then the 8332 does not apply at all. The 8332 is only to release the child's dependent to the parent who did *not* live with the child more than half the year).
