Who claims the child for tax purposes?

In cases of divorce when a child is involved who claims the child at the beginning of the year when filing taxes? If we are joint managing conservators but I am the conservator with primary possession and the right to designate our son's residence do I claim him or does my soon to be ex husband claim him? I would like to be the one to claim him each year. Do I need to speak to my lawyer to request that or how does that work? My husband is not very involved at all in our son's life and I do the most for him so I would only see it fair that it should be me.

If your son is with you for over 50% of the year then you get to claim your son OR whatever the divorce degree designates.

The person with custody of the children get the tax breaks.You claim the child.
if he has nothing to do with him then you claim him every year but if he does take him when he is suppose to then he should get to calim him every other year, that is how it usually works, but if you don't want it that way then get your taxes done asap before he can then if will go to you
it will be decided in court, sometimes u take turns claiming the child, it depends on your situation, and how good of a lawyer you have....good luck
If the child lives with you you claim, but best ask lawyer or I>R>S
The person he lives with gets to claim him. The person paying child support doesn't even get to claim any expenses for that. In my state anyway.
IRS states whoever has the child physically residing with them for over 6 months is allowed the deduction.Plain and simple
