Divorced parents

Mother is designated as the residential parent in divorce decre.

Per the decre, Father may claim child in even numbered years and Mother will claim in odd numbered years

This is a pre 2008 divorce decre

 

Child moved in with father in late 2019 and has been living with him for all of 2020 (spent more nights at fathers house than with mother)

 

Father has motions pending in court to change the residential parent designation to him due to the child moving in with him. 

 

Mother previously revoked all future years from Father with form 8332 but the court never modified the original order to allow this

 

Can Father claim child on his taxes?
