Yes the custodial parent thing is true HOWEVER, i don’t know what is said in your divorce papers and in your custody agreement, what I do know is that if the children spend 50/50 with both parents, I’m going to assume you have a 50/50 agreement which if that is the case there is NO custodial parent, neither one of you has more rights over the other and if it states in your custody agreement that you will claim said child every year and the other parent will claim the 2nd child every year the person claiming both is in violation of a court order. And that will be the only way you can try to make it right, unfortunately. When it comes to the IRS. There’s nothing you can do with them.
