So I just had a similar situation come up. I'm divorced and have been the past 2 years. This year when I tried to claim the eic, it said my dependent did not qualify for taxes period, so I sent in a paper return. When I got my return I found out the removed my EIC which I believed I had the right to do. When you said, " This "splitting of the child" is not available to parents who lived together at any time during the last 6 months of the year;", would the fact that we lived together during the year even after our divorce Make it so I could claim the eic and dependent of the child? What would I need to show the Irs possibly to prove this?
