TP Wife and ex husband have two kids. Joint custody. Court papers say that each parent will take one child each as a dependent. Question I have is, do the parents have to prove child lived with them over half 2007? What if they can't prove it? Does the tie-breaker rule kick in and parent with higher AGI get the deduction, regardless of what the court papers say?
