More details to this question:
My ex husband and I have been divorced for 5 yrs. In our divorce decree it states that he cannot claim any of the children on his income tax. He had given me a total of 1500.00 in the past 5 yrs so I put him on child support but it took them 3 yrs to serve the papers. I finally got him on child support back in April. In November I moved out of my old house due to the financial strain of having to support our kids on my own so the boys ended up moving in with him just for a year. When he filed for his taxes all his taxes came to me because of the child support he owes. Do I have to take him off child support now or can I leave him on it even though he has the two boys and I have the two girls? He now has a new son and that's the only reason why he was able to get taxes back.

The same child support order will remain effective until someone files a modification to get it changed. The law would allow him an offset because he has the two boys; however, he needs a new order saying that. You're not obligated to file the modification. The main problem you may have is that he could ask for retroactive offset back to the day the boys moved in with him. But that's if he even files for a modification.
