Accountant anyone? Quick question re: taxes

Hello!  It's been awhile since I've visited the boards and I've missed you all....and honestly, I miss homeschooling.

 

I have a quick question for anyone who might know.

 

Our divorce decree says that XH claims one child and I claim the other child. Both children live with me more than 1/2 of the year. Does the non custodial parent need to have the IRS Form 8332 to claim a child on their taxes? 

 

Thanks to anyone who might know!

Yes, Form 8332 is required.  In fact, I filled out an 8332 for each kid to cover all of the years between the divorce decree and when the kids turn 18 so that I don't have to remember to do it each year.  We switch off kids each year (take turns) when filing, so I made a form for one kid with the odd years, and a form for the other with the even years; he can just make a copy of whichever one he needs.
