This could be possible when all of the rules are met for this purpose.
You as the non-custodial parent would only be able to claim the children if the custodial parent release the custodial parent claim to the exemption by completing Form 8332 (PDF), Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent, or signing a substantially similar statement.

Can the custodial parent claim both children and the earned income credit on their tax return if the non-custodial parent is behind on child support but usually you each claim one child?
The custodial Parent has the right to claim both children, but in your case if the NC parent is behind they will automatically take it from their tax refund anyway. But as with any agreement if it states the NC gets to claim one then you can only claim one. If there is not an agreement in that way, then the custodial has the right. The arrears owed to the C has no affect on the claiming rights of another.
Can the custodial parent claim both children and t?
Only if she has the children 51% of the time.
Can the non-custodial parent claim the children without permission of the custodial parent?
No, the custodial parent must give written a agreement which contains all pertinent information including the date the child/children will leave and the date they will return, how and when the non-custodial parent should stay in contact, and so forth. If a non-custodial parent removes a child/children from ANY place w/o the knowledge and/or permission of the custodial parent they are committing "parental kidnapping" and may be subject to criminal prosecution and other penalties.

Only one person can claim a person. Once a person is claimed as a dependent, no one lese can claim him. Does your divorce agreement state who is allowed to claim your son for income tax purposes? If not, the custodial parent has a higher right to claim the child than the non-custodial parent. him paying child support does not grant him any rights to claim your son either.
Who can claim the children at tax time How does the non-custodial parent get rights to?
Your divorce decree should outline who gets to claim the children at tax time. If it is not outlined, try to communicate with the other parent to work out who gets to claim them. If you want it to be court ordered, you will have to file documents and go to court.

It should be addressed in the divorce and custody arrangement. If not, it is a matter of frequent dispute. Generally, the custodial parent...but if the other is actually providing the majority of financial support, an argument can be made for them.
What if custodial parent and non custodial parent claims kids on tax return but it was non custodials turn?
Either or both parties will have a problem with the IRS. In order for a parent to claim a minor child as a dependent he or she must have contributed more then 50% (51% or more) of income required to support the child.

If arrearage is owed can custodial parent claim child if courts gave tax exemption to non custodial parent?
I'm not sure what state you are in, but in Utah a non custodial parent may NOT claim the child if they are not current on child support. You need to check your individual state. I'm thinking the custodial parent could claim the child if the non custodial parent isn't able to. I don't see why they would allow the exemption to go to waste. It's not like your taking it away from him, just using it because NCP can't.

How can a custodial parent prevent a non custodial parent from claiming the child when there is no court order stating who can claim who?
If you can legitimately claim the child, do so. Let the IRS worry about whether the NCP is claiming the child.
Can i claim my son on my taxes and i pay child support but haven't seen my son all year?
In order to claim someone as an exemption the IRS says that you must provide more than half of that person's total support in a calendar year. A special rule was created by the IRS in order to resolve the question of dependency and who gets the exemption.The rule states that the parent who has custody for the greater part of the year is the custodial parent and that the parent will be treated as the person who has provided more than half of the child's support. In other words if your ex-spouse pays more toward the child's expenses than you do but you spend more time with the child and are responsible for the majority of child care you will get the child dependency exemption. You, the custodial parent who spends the most time with the child can claim the child as your dependent.The non-custodial parent can claim the exemption if both parents agree and the following criteria are met:A written agreement signed by the custodial parent stating that he/she will not claim the child as a dependent.A final decree of divorce that states the custodial parent will not claim the exemption for the tax year and the non-custodial parent attaches the appropriate documentation to his/her tax return.A final decree of divorce that provides for the non-custodial parent to claim the child as a dependent along with a statement that at least $600 was in fact given in support to the custodial parent.The non-custodial parent must fill out a form 8332 from the IRS. The custodial parent and non-custodial parent must both sign the form and then it should be attached to the non-custodial parent's tax return.
