What is the name of your state? AR
My son has been living with his mother as per our divorce settlement and is now heading to college. Our divorce settlement states that she gets to claim him as a dependent. However, he is now over 18 years old and will be living away at school. I will be paying for his roomand board as well as his schooling and am wondering (hoping really) that I will be able to claim him on my taxes as a dependent on my tax return to help offset the expenses. Can I legally do this or does the divorce settlemnt still hold sway?
Thanks in advance.
