Just some facts:
My ex (dd's father) has not worked since 2008. Seriously. He has not had a paying job in almost 4 years!
He DOES NOT PAY child support at all. In fact, all her clothes and stuff are because I purchased them for her (at his house and at mine) Also all her school supplies, clothes, shoes, school pictures, dr's appt, are made, taken to, paid by me.
I dont ask him for a dime.
I started school in 2010. I also started a part time job (hours varying from 20 to 38 hours a week) later that year.
In July of 2010, we went for custody. I have Sole/Physical custody. He only gets her Friday evening through Sunday morning. Every weekend. Nothing was ever mentioned on who claims her for taxes. NOTHING.
So In January of 2011 he asked for her SS card, i said why, he said so I can claim her, you claimed her last year. I said " you did NOT work, so why should you" he got pissy and said do whatever you want. So I claimed her and then while I was waiting for my checks...he said well how about we split what you get in half. I said uhh, I'm getting money back from working, from school I'm not giving you that. He said fine what you get back for DD I want half.
A majority of my refund came from school and work, In fact only 160.00 came from EIC. He kept asking for it, and I had spent it on my DD's bday. So I did NOT give him half. It was strictly a verbal agreement, no papers, not court ordered, not notarized, NOTHING. He let it go
So this year. He is once again expecting half. I have already received my federal and state returns for this year. they are in my account. He still thinks that he is getting half. My EIC this year was less than $1000. And he wants half of it. It would equal about $450.
He does not work at all. He receives NO income! No unemployment, no under the table, no nothing. And I know what he would spend it on. It would NOT go towards his daughter in any way. He would spend it all on his 1986 camaro that is about to blow it. Or he would go get tattoos and piercings with it.
But still...he does NOT work. So why should he get any of the money that I am entitled too. I am the one who worked last year, I am the one who went to school and my daughters "support" is 100% FROM ME.
so my question is.
Should he get half the EIC I got on taxes this year? Even tho he did NOT work, and i 100% support our child financially?
IF THERE IS ANY INFO MISSING PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER IT FOR IT. I am looking for a serious answer. I really need help.
Absolutely not!! He shouldnt get a penny!! The LAW is that you can only claim a child if you supported them majority of the year. Sounds like you have. Tell him to suck it.

Thats how I think as well.
But I'm also tempted (because he is extremely gulliable) tell him I only got like $80 back, and tell him it goes based your income....and give him the $40. I dont want to go back to court and I dont want it to be court ordered that he can claim her every other year.
That is how it works up here....the mother and father have to switch years claiming the children.
Quoting Mom2theboy1994:
No. Tell him to sue you if he wants it. Lol.
lol. ha he wouldnt have the money to get to the courthouse to file the necessary paperwork
But I dont want him to take me to court (i took him for custody first) and I dont want it to be court ordered that we switch years claiming dd.
So should I hand him $40 or $50 bucks and say here is half, just to keep the peace?
