My question involves child support in the State of: Ohio
My ex and I have been legally divorced since 2008. Our divorce decree states that if he is over $100 in arrears on December 31st of the tax year, he is not able to claim any of the children as dependents. In years past, I have let this go and allowed him to claim his child(ren) for that tax year, because he's never been more than $1000 in arrears, and ultimately, his tax return was deposited into the child support account, and benefited both of us.
However, on Dec 31 2014, he was $9,684 in arrears, and I intended to exercise my right to claim all 3 children as dependents on my tax return, as his negligence has put a huge financial strain on my family. He requested a modification back in May, and after several reviews with CSEA, and 2 appearances in front of the Magistrate, the decision on December 18 was a reduction in support, and within the decision, the Magistrate gave him the right to claim 2 children as dependents on his 2014 taxes (as stated in our divorce decree since it is an even numbered year). So, even though this issue was never brought up in the court room, does the Magistrate's decision overrule our divorce decree?
