Question by myteapot4: Can I claim a dependant if I have “permanent custody” but he mostly lived with his father this year?
I allowed his father to claim him on his taxes the four years he lived with me and his father is behind in child support for all three children. This will be the last year I can file him because his father has modified the custody order since he is almost 13 and he can decide to live where he wants. I have always provided the children’s insurance.

Who every paid for his food clothes roof over his head gets to claim him if he lived in his house he gets to claim. Your tax book tells you this.
