Q.  How do I, as the non-custodial parent, who pays half of the daycare expenses, claim the portion of the daycare expenses that I pay?

A. You are not allowed to claim those expenses, even if you are claiming the child as a dependent.  This is because ONLY the custodial parent is allowed to do that.
