@Opus 17 thanks so much, it helps a lot. However, me and my son live in NJ, dad lives in Fl. He sees him a week or 2 a year in summer, that's it. So even if NJ divorce agreement says he can claim for 2019 (agreed when Dad was in NJ & having weekly visitation), he still doesn't met the eligibility, because he doesn't have him enough & doesn't provide half his support, since he moved. So, then by irs standards he's filing falsely if we correct it for him then by virtue & NJ standards, I'm in contemt of an order. So, one of us will have to risk more than just the exception in these circumstances? Dad, agreed to amend his, but now I don't feel comfortable being in contemt. Fortunately, this was just a mistake that we didn't discuss 1st or fix the order earlier and we get along very well, but neither of us wants to be on the wrong side of the law. Any advice? Since my son is disabled and gets SSI & other NJ benefits does that make it more complicated?
