Hi, I just found this site and I love it, lots of great info! I have a few quick questions. I am the NCP of four great kids, I have them every other weekend and two weeks per month in the summer. With all that said...... My divorce was filed in Aug. 2006 and a temp. CS order was created in october. At the final divorce hearing(November 24th) we hashed out the custody agreement, such as how many days I would recieve with my kiddies. I wanted every weekend but, instead got the every other weekend deal. Anyway, because the temp. agreement said this much... and the final aggreement, after the decision by the magestrate about time, said that much.... I am behind $300.00.
Now in the decree, we agreed to split the deductions 2 and 2. But since I was behind as of January 1st she filed HER taxes on the 5th with all the children, claiming since I was behind as of Jan. 1st that she gets all the deductions. Is this true? Can I write her a check for the $300.00 and file my taxes, claiming my two as agreed? I was unaware of the Jan. 1st rule. Any advice would be appreciated.
