Ask A Divorce Lawyer: Can she claim both kids on her taxes?

Posted by pmcmahon in taxes , Steven Lee Akins Jr. , sole custody , Maintenance , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I got divorced about 3 years ago. Both of us have remarried. She got sole custody of our kids with me paying 100% of their support, health insurance and co-pays. Now she is saying she has the right to claim both kids on their taxes and I don’t. Is this true?
