Claiming my child

[schandler1011]

My son's father and I agreed to claim our son every other year, odd for me, even for him. This would be his year to claim him, except he owes me about 6 months of child support, so we agreed for me to claim him again this year. What should I do?

You should go ahead and claim him, unless you've signed Form 8332 waiving your right to claim him this year. If your son lives with you for more than half the year, you could actually claim him every year according to IRS rules.
