Unmarried couples with children living together

[nicklugo89]

We are an unmarried couple with one child. I am the primary income holder but she works as well. Should she claim our son?

• Typically, the parent with the highest adjusted gross income (AGI) would claim the child especially if the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time during the tax year, and they do not file a joint return together;
