SF asked:
My ex-husband & I have joint custody, although my son lives w/me, he only goes with his dad twice a wk. I do not receive child support, but my ex pays for our son's school (pre-K).

Now, when filing our taxes, may I be able to claim our son as my dependant, and then have my ex file for the child care expenses?
