More details to this question:
My daughter moved in with her father when she was 14 (2011) because I took him to child support recovery. All in all he owed me $30,142 for back child support and equity in our home. I, in turn, had to pay him $153.53 a week which was deducted from this amount until she turned 18 or graduated high school. So, he still owes me $1585.42. She moved back with me last April 2010 and graduated June 2010, I filled out FAFSA and she started college in September 2014. Can I claim her on my taxes?

If you're providing more than 1/2 her support, then you can take her deduction.

If you provide a majority of her support, or if you and her father together provide a majority of her support and agree in writing that you can claim her as a dependent, then you can do so.
