Yes, you must send the form 8332 with your tax return. You still will not be able to e-file, so you will have to mail in your return (with the 8332).
Do not include a copy of the court order. The IRS only cares about the 8332.
"It's a little confusing when a state court orders one parent full custody but orders both parents to share claiming a dependent when the IRS doesnt care what a court ordered."
The IRS got tired of trying of refereeing this situations and having to interpret varying local court documents, so they had congress change the law in 2008. Now, all you need is form 8332. A good court order should mandate that the custodial parent provide that form.
