Claiming the tax dependency exemption


Problem: Sarah Hamblin and her now ex-husband kevin were legally divorced on March 1, 2010. As of the end of the year, Sarah was unmarried. Sarah and Kevin had only one child, an 11 year old girl named Elizabeth. As part of the divorce decree, Sarah was given custody of Elizabeth and Kevin was required to pay 1) child support for Elizabeth's care and 2) alimony to Sarah until she remarries or dies. Because Kevin will be making child support payments, the divorce decree provided that Kevin will be permitted to claim the tax dependency exemption for Elizabeth until Elizabeth no longer qualifies as a tax dependent of either parent and the decree obligates Sarah to sign and/or file any required forms to cause this result to occur.
