I am looking to clarify something on my divorce decree.I live in Ohio if that matters,20 years of marriage,divorce in 2010.I have full custody of our 3 children.
It states.. "The parties agree that the father shall be entitled to take the tax deduction such time said children is eligible for such deduction."
This is inserted as one line between paragraphs regarding child support.It seems a bit misplaced and vague.There is no other mention of taxes anywhere else in the decree or who gets to claim the EIC or anything else for that matter.
I am waiting for a call back from my attorney before I file my taxes this year,but as his house has recently burned down I am thinking I will have to wait a while before he can get back to me.
Thank you,
Jennifer
