Dayton, OH asked in Tax Law for Ohio

Q: My order states ex wife and I alternate tax years with me claiming in odd number years. Does this mean I claim for 2019?

I also heard her lawyer say this would be my year and my ex wife claimed our child anyway. I thought claiming in odd number years for tax purposes would mean that I claim 2019 being it’s an odd number year. If that’s the case what do I do? I don’t want to get her in trouble and I have tried to make a solution with her but she won’t budge.
