Spliting the tax refund my ex will get by claiming our child?


My ex wants to claim our child on his taxes cause he isn't getting any money back and wants to pay some of his bills. Is it wrong of me to ask for half of what he gets back? I would get nothing by claiming her, but my parents will get some back if they do. My ex hasn't paid child support for about 7 months. I had planed to use what money my parents got back for my child. i just want some input from others about this before i make a choice on this question.

If you live with your parents, they would be the ones that would qualify to claim your child, If they provided more than 50% of the childs support they probably would be claiming them. You can not just let the father claim the child to get a refund. He has to provide more than 50% of the childs support and meet other guide lines to be entitled to claim the child.

If your husband or your parents claim your daughter, they will have committed tax fraud. And by accepting (or requesting) half the returned money, you will be just as guilty.

The only person who can claim the child is the person who pays at least 50% of her expenses. This includes groceries, healthcare, housing, etc.
If your parents own a house, they will save much more claiming your daughter than your ex will. If he hasn't paid child support I really wouldn't trust him to give you half. Also, it's important to consider where you're at. I think this is one time where you can consider your parents and see if they wanted to claim her. I wouldn't ask for any money from them for it and I bet you they would REALLY appreciate it. It might be a hard decision, but you should talk to your parents. Maybe they have some advice.
That's fair to ask him for some of the refund.

If your child lives with you, you have the right to claim him. You give that right to help him, there should be something in it for you.
This should've been settled in your divore papers. Who is supposed to claim your daughter, legally? Even if you grant him permission to claim her as a dependent, who's to say he won't claim the child and not give you the money? He is not obligated to give you half whether you ask or not, legally. To me, that seems like risky business. Have your parents claim.

If your ex hasn't paid you child support, you owe him nothing. Why should he get money for his daughter if he hasn't even supported her? To me, that looks like stealing money from his daughter through the IRS.
Let your parents claim your child..!! If he doesn't support his kid why are you going to let him pay his bills with your money..??
