My divorce papers state that my ex gets to claim one of my sons this coming year. I am curious as I have asked several "tax attorneys" and they state that if the children live with me (300 days a year), that even if my decree says to fill out a form 8332 that Federal law states that the children have to live with the parent for more than 6 months in order to be claimed. Do I have to fill this out? Can I claim them? I am very low income and he is not. He does not even pay his child support like he is supposed to very often. How do I file for the EIC with both children if I have to fill out the 8332? This is so confusing! Thanks in advance!
