We filed separation agreement very abrupt 8 years ago so it wasn't very detailed as far as taxes. We are divorced since, kids live with me, he only gets visitation rights every other weekend. I always claim kids on my taxes, but this years he is taking me to court asking court to claim kids for for next 8 years, to be even. Even if court makes me sign 8332, from what I understand 8332 only transfers the dependent exemption and the child tax credit. If my ex has almost no expenses when kids visit him (he lives in another state and I even pack clothing when they go) and he doesn't pay for tutoring and any extra curriculum activities or child care what can he claim? Moreover, my older daughter is over 13, so there is no child tax credit, plus she barely goes there in a recent year anyway. Please help to understand IRS rules before I go to court. Thank you for any information.
