Claiming Children On Taxes

Summary

As the custodial parent, you generally have the right to claim your children as dependents for tax purposes. Given that you have the children 80-90% of the time and are the primary caretaker, you have a strong case. Your modification request could state: As I am the custodial parent and the children reside with me for 80-90% of the time, I am requesting the right to claim them as dependents for tax purposes. Always consult a local attorney to ensure the wording is legally appropriate.
