Yeah, I understand that the IRS and the courts go by their own rules, and I did not give him the 8332 form when he filed, so I'm guessing the IRS would view me, the custodial parent, as the one eligible to claim the child. As would the courts, because our court order states, he can claim our son as a dependent every other year IF he has paid all child support. I believe after my amendment, things were done correctly filing wise.. but we are both in our mid 20s and this is our only child, so it is a learning process 🙂
