IT NEVER CHANGES

Well of course BM is refusing to sign IRS Form 8332
Release of Exemption although the divorce decree states DH gets to claim ss in odd numbered years and the judges ruling last week upheld that. So of course we will have to spend more money to hae the attorney send a letter to her attorney to try and get her sign it and give it to us. And the judge thinks this is a woman who can be "corrected" by mediation? It is obvious she is not going to cooperate and is determined to keep running upthe bills on us. Funny she had another bill to hand us at drop off last night (she has one every week, oh how we love seeing that yellow envelope) but she just can't bring herself to sign the Form and put it in to at least give the appearance she trying to cooperate.

I had a conversation about this same topic with my attorney in the past. If she refuses to produce a signed IRS Form 8332, file and claim ss anyway. As long as you can produce documents (divorce decree) that prove that your DH had the right to claim him you have nothing to worry about. I would maybe even attach a copy of the decree to your tax forms when you mail them.

It coul trigger an audit or at least a letter from the IRS. She'll be the one getting the heat from the IRS in the end, not you.

I would go ahead and file. You have it in writing in a court ordered document that DH has the right to declare it. So go ahead.
