    How do I stop my ex-wife from claiming our daughter, it is my year to claim her
    According to my divorce decree I claim my daughter on all odd years. I think my EX is going to file taxes Monday, and I'm afraid she will try and claim my daughter. She and her husband have no income for the whole year. She did this in2007 and I had to force her to file an amendment. Can I stop her from doing this before I get my W_2?
    Please help

    If they have NO income, they have NOTHING to gain by claiming your daughter, because the Earned Income Credit requires EARNED income to qualify, and the Child Tax Credit requires some income as well.

    Contact her and make sure she understands this. She may not even have ANY requirement to file a tax return.
