He gave up and expects to not pay us.
Am i entitled to a portion of the taxes after me and my spouse broke up when he claimed my daughter (his step at the time) for the child credit?
We were together almost 3 years, but he couldn't stand my autistic daughter (his step at the time) during some challenging behavioral problems. So he kicked her and I out. I stated I wanted her part of the taxes because he claimed her for the child credit. He has refused so far. I'm wondering if I have any legal standing if I took him to court.
In your case, since your daughter is your biological child and he is your ex-spouse's stepchild, the fact that he claimed her might not automatically give him the right to the credit without your permission. If you and your daughter were living separately after the breakup and he hasn't had custody or significant time with her, it may be worth consulting a lawyer to explore your options. You may want to consult a family lawyer specializing in family law can give you specific advice about your situation, including whether you have a case for legal action and how you might be able to proceed.
