Can a Florida judge order that a non-custodial parent be allowed to claim child on his taxes

Can a Florida judge order that a non-custodial parent be allowed to claim child on his taxes.?
I keep finding conflicting information on the internet regarding the authority of state courts. I, as the custodial parent, am the sole provider for my child's health/dental insurance (I footed the bill for braces and any co-payments), I solely pay the mortgage for the house she lives in, father does not want to see or know his child and she is now 17 years old. He pays $500 per month in mandate child support from age 13 to 18 years of age. The court order says he is allowed to claim her on his taxes every other year. He pays no state tax where I pay state tax and an additional local tax which is equal to half of what I pay for state taxes. I also pay property taxes. I provide more than 50% of her support. Do I have to confirm to the judges order? Because the case was heard in the NCP's state, I was allowed to participate by phone but at the last minute the judge decided I couldn't and my child's father had his lawyer present where I had no one acting on my behalf.

Contact a Lawyer ASAP I don't think he has a right.Good Luck

You could file a petition through the court where the case was file for a modification due to not having representation at the prior case. Problem is she will turn 18 by the time they get to it.

I know he can claim that he pays child support. My son's father has to have me fill something out or he has to go up to the friend of the court for them to fill out the papers for him to claim the child support he pays. I know he can claim that she doesn't live with him but he pays for support. You are also able to claim her. If you fill your taxes before he does and that you put she lives with you and you pay for all of her support but the five hundred you receive from him. You have to claim that he pays child support. But when he goes in to fill his taxes he will not be able to claim her as living with him. Because you already have. I would also go and see if you can have that taken care of. See how you have the papers changed. I hope i have helped some. I would also go and look up the laws for taxes.

My friend went to court and he is from florida and stays in alabama. The judge ordered him to pay child support and allows him to claim the children on taxes every year even though he doesn't get credit for them living with him. It's more for other reasons like going to school or getting state aid. He has to say on applications that he has two other dependents and pays out the axx in child support.
5 :
Yes, the judge can order whatever he thinks is equitable. In this case the non-custodial parent claims the exemption every other year and will use the single tax rates each year. The custodial parent gets the best deal because they get the exemption every other year but get to use the "head of household" rates each year.
6 :
Judges can order whatever they feel is just. You can request a modification, but unless a judge issues a contrary order, you have to follow the one in effect. And it might cost you more that you'd save on taxes, to fight it. Not fair, but life isn't sometimes. If there is no court order regarding taking the exemption, the IRS rule is that it defaults to the custodial parent. But in your case, since there is a court order, you have to follow it. Filing first and claiming her, as someone else suggested, won't do you any good if her father claims her also - the IRS will contact both of you, he'll show the court order, and you'll have to pay the additional tax.
7 :
A judge can and in alot of cases does order this. Have you ever heard of a form 8332? The parent who has custody signs this paper in the year the other parent wants to claim the child. For example, if your ex gets the child on his 2006 taxes, you sign it in 2006 for him to use. Only catch is, it only releases dependancy and child tax credit, which your child is too old for, to the non custodial. You keep the Head of Household (if you qualify), the day care expenses, and the Earned Income credit (if you qualify). Hope this helps.
8 :
If there is a court order in place, you are out of luck as far as taxes go. However, you could go back to court to try to have that changed.
9 :
If the judge has jurisdiction over the divorce, he can decide which parent has the right to claim the child as part of the divorce decree. In the case you describe, you should be able to have the decree modified to give you the exemption. As others have said, contact an attorney.

what happens if someone is trying to claim another person's child on their taxes? What are the penalties

what happens if someone is trying to claim another person's child on their taxes? What are the penalties?
My husband has a seven year old son who lives part of the time with his mother and her live-in boyfriend. Her boyfriend is insisting on covering the minor on his group health insurance and he is also claiming the child on his taxes as a dependent and getting the child tax credit every year. My understanding is that a child can only be claimed as a dependent if it is a biological, adopted, step or foster child. What would this be classified as? Fraud? And how would my husband go about proving this to the IRS?

Your thinking for EIC. If the child lives all yr with them and doesn't pay over 50% of their own living expenses and makes less than $3500 they can claim him. The child would be considered a qualified relative.
2 :
The custodial parent is the one who can claim the child. The custodial parent is defined as the one with whom the child spent the most time with during the year. If that's not you then you have no claim to the child an cannot claim him unless you have a court decree that grants you the exemption or the custodial parent gives you a completed Form 8332 that you attach to your return. A live-in boyfriend can claim the child if the child lived in his home ALL year and he provided more than half of the child's support for the year AND if the custodial parent earned less than $3,500 and does not claim him. If the b/f claims the child it will be up to him to prove his claim to the IRS. Since you apparently cannot claim the child, that's none of YOUR concern, however. The IRS will not discuss the mother's or the boyfriend's tax return with you, nor will they likely act on "fraud" claims when former spouses and the children are involved unless YOU are entitled to claim the child on YOUR return.
3 :
Let me add a few points to the good comments posted above. You should probably consult a tax professional. Your husband can still file a return, claiming his son. but not by computer because the IRS computer will see that the son's SSN has already been used. You have to print a paper return and mail it in. The IRS will contact all the parties and figure out who is entitled to claim the boy as the dependent. The good news is that you and your husband may get $1000 of your taxes for the child tax credit, plus another $400 to $800 for the dependent. The bad news news is that it takes months for this happen.

The real thing is do they own up the the fact that they have a very poorly child and face their company being forced to sack them.

....under the new health care if it passes your child can be insured up to age 26. Under the current plan.. you are carried under most insurances until 18 but if you are in college that lasts until 21 years of age.

Will Asthma prevent me from getting health care

Will Asthma prevent me from getting health care?
When I turn 22 later this year, I will get kicked off of my parent's health insurance. As a child and teenager, I had asthma & allergies, but I have not had symptoms or been on medication for 2+ years. Will this get me declined for health insurance? I understand that health care is not health insurance. However, as I will still be a student, I will not be able to afford health care without health insurance. I'm also not willing to accept handouts.

It should not as you've not had treatment for it for more than 18 months, BUT you never know what an insurer will try to do. You do have to disclose info and I'd keep a photocopy of the ap you send in in case issues arise later. Also check this state guide as that should help as 18-months is for group insurance, late enrollee period. http://healthinsurance.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=healthinsurance&cdn=health&tm=28&gps=355_596_1020_587&f=20&su=p726.2.152.ip_p284.8.150.ip_&tt=12&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.healthinsuranceinfo.net/ Good luck.
2 :
The condition could be considered 'pre-existing' by an insurance co. which would not cover it at all or for a certain time period. Or the premium could be raised because of your history with asthma.
3 :
It shouldn't get you declined with most companies. However, depending upon your state of residence it could possibly result in a rider. A rider means they won't cover the asthma or allergies or anything related or is a result of the asthma or allergies. The fact that you've gone 2 years without medication is a plus so it is possible that there won't be any conditions on the policy.
4 :
Health CARE is, getting in to see a doctor. No, if you're unmedicated for your asthma, you won't have a problem getting a private health insurance policy.

Any experience with PacificSource Health Plans covering Behavioral Therapies for children with Autism

Any experience with PacificSource Health Plans covering Behavioral Therapies for children with Autism?

Go to Yahoo Groups autism forums pertaining to behavioral techniques, ABA, etc. and ask them. I recovered my children only on biomedical treatments, which many have complained about not getting insurance coverage for as well. Since individuals with autism have immune dsyfunction, sensory integration disorder, and many pathogens and toxins, the doctors are billing under their medical problems and not saying autism since it is not yet recognized as a medical problem by mainstream. But thousands have been recovered by biomedical, so hopefully it will one day.

Why is it that so few people click to give free food and fund books and health for children and fund free mamm
I only recently made The Hunger Site my home page and now everyday I click on all of the web sites (they have 5 sister sites, the Breast Cancer Site, Child Health Site,literacy Site,Rainforest Site and Animal rescue site) to make my contribution (for free) just a few seconds of my sweet time to do sweet deeds for those in need. You can click on all 5 sites in less than a few minutes to make your contribution. It's quite unbelieveable that on average only 10 mammograms are generated for charity from all the clicks on the website, I hope you can make the effort to click everyday and help those in need and spread the word. http://www.thehungersite.com

I think you have to wait 6 weeks. BTW, don't worry..you and your wife will be too tired and busy with the baby. Six weeks will go by fast. :) Hang in there.
2 :
Yes. Leave the poor woman alone for at least six weeks, she'll need to be checked by her doctor first.
3 :
it is better to avoid but there is no danger, a dr may be consulted
4 :
Only if it is painfull for her. Her body will tell her and you when the time is wright. Don't force her.
5 :
It won't hurt her, but it would feel like you are trying to screw a 55 gallon drum. I would go anal for the next month or two until she tightens up.
6 :
I know you maybe extra horny from seeing your wife with the new and enhanced "boobage" :) bro, but you have to wait 6 weeks before you can do anything. Also she will need to have a follow up exam to make sure that she's healing properly and also make sure that if you all are going to try for another baby, give it at least 1.5 years. Yes 1.5 years because a woman's body needs that time to heal and get back into it's normal routine. Experience bro, just wait and you all will be good.
7 :
let her heal, dang you cant keep it in your pants that long? its only 6 weeks
8 :
usually it is not advisible to keep sex after child delivery for atleast four weeks...better consult the doctor whom had attended ur wife during child delivery....
9 :
Many people have sex right after child birth weather oked by Dr. or not Just remember she can get pregnant super fast now so wear a condom (if you dont want another child right away) but you should wait the time to heal 6 weeks is nor.
10 :
The doc usually says wait six weeks but if ur slow and very gentle it should be OK
11 :
i dont think its dangerous ...but be careful she could get pregnant again quickly...my kids are only 9months and 27 days apart
12 :
Give her at least 6 weeks to heal and then assess the situation after that. Remember it took her 9 months to give carry your child and no telling how many hours before she gave birth so let her rest bro.

child custody and mental health issues

child custody and mental health issues?
I am going through a court case with my ex boyfriend and have recently received word that he has been put in Montana's State Mental Hospital because he has become a danger to himself and others. The court case involves the issue of Custody between him and I. Can someone fill me in on the statues/limitations,rules,guidelines, info on the matter of Mental Health (being placed in a mental institute) and a judge's POV on things? I have a clean record, have reliable income and I have an apartment. My ex has just been put into the mental hospital for 90 days and has a record of mental health issues. What are my chances of getting custody of my son?

Without all the details, I'm going to guess that you'll get full custody. Once he's released from the hospital, he'll need to have a psychiatrist indicate that he's safe and stable before he can have unsupervised visitation.
2 :
They aren't going to give custody of a child to someone that has been adjudicated as a danger to himself.
3 :
you are probably going to get him unless you are moremental than him or he is not really mental.
4 :
You need to have proof that he is in there and it is against his will. You can get this by subpoenaing his mental health records, or requesting a mental health evaluation be done. Once you have proof I highly recommend you contact the judge and ask for an emergency hearing because a person who has been deemed to be a danger to himself and others has no right to make legal decisions for a child.
5 :
the chances of him getting custody of your son is not good. you will probably be awarded custody. the presiding judge can order the case to be reviewed after your boyfriend has successfully completed treatment for his disorder. at that point the judge may grant him some sort of visitation rights.
6 :
Males fighting for custody and access rights can develop problems with depression due to the flop sided system. I teach fathers how to get custody, and I always advise them getting counseling.
