The amount of money spent to overturn this law will far exceed any help given to the paying parent via tax breaks. Federal IRS law prohibits claiming a dependant for tax I the child has not spent a majority of their time in the claimant possession AND only if the claimant has paid more than half of the child expenses. Child support laws are based on income disparity, not an equal split of the cost to raise a child. Federal law will prevail, in the mean time, responsible parents will be unduly punished for being responsible.
