[QUOTE="donna723, post: 202821, member: 1883"] I don't know if it's exactly the same, but when I was still receiving child support for my son it was in the divorce decree that I was the one who got to claim him on my taxes every year. He rarely even saw his father and never spent even a single night at his house. I filed, claiming him as a dependent, and got my refund. Then my ex filed and tried to claim him too, probably thinking it would just slide through unnoticed. He actually [U]did[/U] get a bigger refund with the extra on it from claiming our son ... BUT a few months later they caught up with him! He had to return the extra he had gotten on his refund plus pay a sizeable penalty. If he had contested it, I could have whipped out the divorce papers and he still would have not had a leg to stand on. The same thing happened to a girl at work who had tried to claim her daughter that her ex-husband was entitled to claim. They took the extra money back and she had to pay some stiff fines and penalties because her ex could prove that he had supported the girl and was entitled to claim her, and he had the documentation to prove it.
