My opinion; if you don't work to file your own taxes to claim your own kid then you shouldn't get any part of the money to who ever who does file that supply's for the child all year should get everything and if you get more child support then you make or your not responsible for at least P of your child I feel the father should be able to claim the child saying in all reality the father puts out more for the kid then the mother but that's just me I feel its only fair.
