The language in the final order is

"Petitioner (me) shall be entitled to claim DD8 as tax dependent in all years"

"Resondent (XAH) shall be entitled to claim DD10 as tax dependent in all years"

"A parent may only claim a child as a dependent if that parent is current on child support for the applicable tax year"

So, while he has erratically paid SOME here and there, there is a clear, final uniform support order outlining the exact amount and he has not paid that at all.

So I read that order to be that if he is in arrears at all, he doesn't claim a kid.

I do need to pursue getting the arrears from him I guess... I just felt like it was not worth the fight that will follow...

But since Im making an issue of it with taxes, I guess I need to make an issue of the arrears too.
