My ex signed our divorce decree stating that I could claim one of our children. She claims the other. We have 2 children. Last year she claimed both children and I did not realize it until I went to file and receive my refund. Both children reside with her full time. I see the one son I claim specifically for about 6 weeks in the summer and 5 days to 1 week a year during Christmas or Thanksgiving. I live in a different state and travel a lot so I am not with them hardly at all. She is considered primary custody. With our divorce decree and it being legally binding, can she do that or is there a way I can go back and reverse what she has done with our divorce documentation stating this agreement? Ultimately, can she get “dinged” or in trouble for doing this either with the IRS or in court where are divorce decrement resides? Again, full transparency, I am not the custodial parent and they do not live with me. Only visits during the year on the agreed times and dates.
