2) When stating the alternative tax year exemption for the child involved, what constitutes odd and even years? Does the year you earn the income or the year you file the tax return?

1) Yes, although the default provision in Utah law provides for the parties to split the cost of insurance.
2) Good question, it is usually the tax year. So, if you are filing your 2015 tax return in 2016, that is an odd year (because it is the 2015 tax return).

father lives with his parents and has temporary custody. He allowed his parents to take our child out of state without even talking to me about it before hand. when I clearly stated I was not in agreement with it, father acts like I have no say and he can do what he wants. What can I do about this?
