I have two children ages 6 & 9 who live with me. Their dad and I were never married and split up in June 2018. We have a child support order stating I am the custodial parent. We do not having a parenting plan though. The kids live with me for more than 6 months of the year. We verbally agreed when we separated that we would both claim one child on our taxes which we did last year. I have been reading that I have the right to claim both children. Is that correct? If so, he will be upset although he’s played dirty since we separated. He is a business owner and makes 4x what I make. I could use the money from claiming both kids. He does not need the money, but just very greedy. If I can claim them both, what happens if he still claims one of them? Will I be in trouble? Thanks!
