under "less common situations for" (my dependent), it states: "Paid for more than half of their living expenses". My question is: WHO paid? My dependent, or me?

Terrible wording in the questionaire!

It is asking if the taxpayer (your dependent) has paid for more than half of their own living expenses.

It is an oddly worded question that is asking if the dependent paid for over half their own support. You will want to say NO to that.
