My client and his soon-to-be ex-wife are both naturalized US Citizens. In the process of planning for their divorce, full disclosure of assets and income was made, all assets were appraised, the ink is dry on the property settlement, she is returning to Poland with her share of the assets this week, and he doesn't have to make alimony payments. He plans to have the divorce finalized in December and remarry immediately. He also wants to claim his ex-wife as a dependent on his 2007 tax return since she had no 2007 income and they lived together more than half the year. May this be done?
