claiming a dependent with divorce
I have divorce papers from 2012 in the parenting plan it states ex can claim dependent on even years and I on odd years. Child has always split households 50/50 until 2019 child has lived with me. Child only goes over to ex's every other weekend and a little extra for spring break and winter break. Child is 15 so they choose they do not want to be there and ex does not make the child do what they do not want. So for the year 2019 tax filing was fine it was my year to claim. Now comes the ex's year to claim 2020 which he did but dependent has not lived in that household. I understand the parenting plan should be updated, which I am working on. So my question is what can I do as far as claiming? Does my ex legally have the right to claim the child if they did not live in that household because the parenting plan was not updated?
