I actually filed claiming one of my kids this year because my ex has lied and taken the bulk of the tax money the past two years and let me basically rot while he paid his cc debt of survivalist bullshit and liquor. We now have to re-do our taxes too because his lawyer is a douche and regardless that he screwed me in the past he is to claim both kids because I make under a certain amount. At least this time I get over 2k back (years before I got 1k and 700 while he took 8-10k for himself )!! I hate douches!!
