A: A good custody/support agreement includes enforceable provisions related to child tax credits/exemptions. Without one, you would defer to the general rules regarding who qualifies as a dependents and who can claim the children. You may have to go to court to have a judge order cooperation and completion of the passports, but expect a challenge if she believes you may not come back.
