Why is it taxable for a noncustodial parent and non-taxable to a custodial parent? I am so confused. What can I do to fix this?<br /><br />Many people share your view that it is unfair that paying child support provides no tax benefit to the noncustdial parent, while the custodial parent garners the benefit of untaxed "income". However, when looked at from the perspective of the tax agencies, it makes a bit more sense, although this really offers no solace.<br />';

I can take the tax exemption for my daughter, right?<br /><br />This is a very timely question. With tax season soon upon us, we would do well to flesh out and answer the questions most commonly associated with the exemption for minor children.<br /><br />Of course, if you and your child\'s co-parent live together, then who claims the exemption isn\'t likely to be a major concern for you. But what about if you and the co-parent are disunited?<br /><br />Many people believe that, as used to be the case, if you contribute fifty percent or more towards the upkeep of your child, then you are entitled to take the exemption. This is, however, no longer the case.<br />';
