Unfortunately, you are asking a very difficult question. The answers hinge on the documents currently in place as well as the status of the divorce. The attorney will need to see if there is premarital agreement in place. If so, that agreement may control. We also need to look at the S... View More

Unless you have some form of legal custody of your grandson, I do not believe you are entitled to claim him on your taxes.

How do I put a lien on this?
