I agree with that statement and also example #5. Once the child was emancipated (18 years old in my state) he was not considered living with the parent any longer. In example #5 it's pretty clear that the child did not qualify the parent for the 6 month rule since the child was emancipated prior to the 6 month mark. My situation is similar, except my kid was 21 years old for the whole year (22 the last two days). My ex claimed him as her qualifying child but I think she can only claim him as a qualifying relative. And if that's the case, she can't claim him since I paid more than 50% of his expenses for the year. I would get to claim him as a qualifying relative and she would not be able to use him as a dependent.
