Claiming a child for tax purposes is a child support issue. In both joint custody and sole custody cases, even where the child support obligor has limited visitation, courts typically allocate the dependency exemption on an alternating basis so that at least every other year, the person ordered to pay child support receives at least part of the tax benefit for the child they are supporting.

The child custody timeline is similar in many respects to the divorce timeline. If a child custody case includes an emergency custody motion or has a companion protective order case, this timeline can be skewed.

Our law firm frequently handles child relocation and abduction cases, at trial and on appeal. Our attorneys have worked tirelessly to provide informational resources for our clients, other attorneys, and the general public about the complexities of child relocation disputes.

Child support is an important aspect of divorce settlements, but what happens when you lose your job? As an unemployed parent, you may be worried about how you will meet your child support obligations.
