There are two ways you can claim your children, either by agreement or Court Order. If both you and your wife claim the children, this will likely raise an Audit flag. Usually, parents experiencing separation decides to claim children on separate years (i.e. father 2012, mother 2013 etc.). Otherwise, during equitable distribution, the court can order that one parent can claim the child(ren) or done as the aforementioned example.
