Can I claim dependent if he's behind on court ordered support
Never married but we have a legal agreement that says every other year he can claim her as a dependent. In 2019, I filed a case to increase support for the first time and August 2020 the judge ruled to increase the monthly amount of support and no less than $54 each month be paid to make up arrears. Side note: the case was this long due to his positive drug test. He filed a motion immediately to have the amount decreased to a different amount and no arrears. That motion was overruled, and yes he has filed yet another motion saying the judge was wrong. The hearing isn't until the end of April, he's only paid what he feels he should pay, never once paying the ordered amount. Do I need to do anything/file anything or can I claim her on my 2020 taxes since he's behind?
