Update Your Profile
I assume you are not married. Until you have completed the mediation and have a shared parenting plan approved by the court and entered into an order of the court, you are the custodial and residential parent. You take the child on the taxes for last year unless an order of the court from the paternity case says to the contrary. Please consult a family law attorney who may consider your entire situation before filing your taxes.
