- Q. Custody tax claim issue with ex in Texas; no child support due to 50/50 custody, and ex-wife claimed both kids against our verbal agreement. How do I resolve this?
- A: I understand your frustration. It sounds like your verbal agreement with your ex-wife regarding claiming the children on taxes wasn’t honored, which can be incredibly frustrating.
Since your court order doesn’t specify who can claim the children, it’s best to consult with a tax professional to determine your next steps. They can help you understand your options, including whether you can file an amended return or address the situation with the IRS.
Moving forward, it may be helpful to modify your custody order to clearly address tax claims to avoid issues in the future.

- Q. How can a non-custodial parent in Texas give up parental rights without agreement from the custodial parent?
- A: In Texas, a non-custodial parent cannot voluntarily terminate their parental rights solely due to personal reasons, such as a busy work schedule or financial obligations.

Additionally, voluntarily giving up parental rights does not automatically terminate child support obligations. The parent may still be required to pay support unless the child is adopted by another ... Read More
- Q. Why are people trying to serve papers at my door, possibly related to custody?
- A: The best way to find out what’s going on is to check with the clerk’s office in your county to see if there’s a lawsuit. Some counties have court records online, but if yours doesn’t, you’ll need to go in person.
