We agreed to swap custody so my son could go to a great school.His lawyer just read it to me,my lawyer was not present.I was not given the doc to read myself bf signing. They spoke a lot to me between reading it.I did not hear her say that his father would claim every tax year.i would like to retract that one statement back to what we've been doing last 10ys.I felt cohearsed bc they said my son couldnt start school til i signed. I didnt want him to not get in. His father has ins but i will be respon. for a portion now bc my tax lady just informed me that he will be a non dep now so no medicaid. The taxes has been emergency income for us.He has on the stipul. that if i closed the child support case,he wouldn't come after me for child support.I offered to pay child support but this is what he put in the stipulation.I have closed the child support case so i no longer receive CS, which is fair.i am very low income.i did not want to agree to losing my right to claim my son every other year
