Child Exemption with Joint custody after divorce

Apr 11, 2006 1 Replies

I have Joint 50-50 custody ( legal and physical) with my ex for our 2 kids. As per the Marriage Settlement we are to claim one child each for tax return. Now my question is: Does this mean - In my tax return, do I just put the one child as dependent , and have absolutely no trace ( no mention whatsoever) of my other child ( who my ex will be claiming as dependent )?? Thanks in advance...

This is correct. Just don't claim any one child on both returns. Missy Doyle
