Our divorce decree does not state whose address is her legal address. My address is used for health insurance as I carry it and her dad's address is used for school. She will be getting her license soon and we are not sure what address should be used.
You should consider modifying the decree to explicitly state the Child's formal address. This could continue to cause problems down the line.

You can petition the court and ask them to find that your child is emancipated (and therefore have your support obligation terminated). However, given the facts you've put forward, you may have an uphill battle on this one.
when the court date took place before, they did not tell him when it was so he could not appear to get a say at all. for 5 years he was left with no contact or visitation.
If your boyfriend can prove that he was never properly served or notified he may have some recourse. Speak with an experienced family law attorney ASAP to see what your options are.
I have filed the answer and opposition for myself. There has not been any type of fact finding forms filed nor has there been any mediation.

DCS is saying that to foster parents are allowed to clean my kids on their taxes but I don't think that is right but they won't tell me the rules on why they can my kids were only in DCS care for maybe 5 months
If a government agency has placed the children with a family then that qualifies for the relationship test required to claim the child as a dependent.
Assuming the other factors are in line they would be allowed to claim the child.
This is very common in foster situations.

Almost weekly he is doin this and every time it's substantiated. But DCS protocol is to investigate every report that comes through. So they said unfortunately they have to do their part each time
I think you meant that every time it's "unsubstantiated," meaning no basis was found for the charges. This is, unfortunately, something that happens from time to time. What DCS told you is generally correct, that they have a duty to investigate the charges that are lodged with them.
