You need to check your child custody order and state laws to determine who has the right to claim the child as a dependent. Some states allow the parent with physical custody to claim the child unless the parents have a different arrangement approved by the court. You should inquire at the court that has jurisdiction over the case.
If the child is 18 or older, and is not in custodial care of the parent by the courts, they're legally an adult, and the parent has no legal right to lay claim to their tax returns.
Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child. You should check with an attorney in your jurisdiction or an advocate at the family court. You should also review your child support order.Generally, the custodial parent has the statutory right to claim the child as a dependent unless there is a court order specifying the non-custodial parent can claim the child.

can noncustodial parent parent claim 1 child if divorce with 2 kids
Not on taxes no. The parent the child lives with has the main right to claim the child. But if that parent can't or doesn't want to then the other parent can
In most states yes. However, the child will not claim it, rather the custodial parent.
if the other parent ant you have an agreement , or a court order states you claim on odd, or even year returns. mine says the latter, but i don't claim , because that money could be used in my daughters house
The child that the child actually lives with for most of the year can claim the EIC on the child. If the divorce agreement specifies that a non-custodial parent can claim the child on his or her taxes, it does not mean that he or she can claim the EIC on the child. EIC is not granted in court orders. To claim EIC, you must pass the age, relationship, and residency requirements. If the child does not actually live with the non-custodial parent for most of the year than the non-custodial parent may NOT claim the child.
yes
Support is owed to the parent (or the State), not the child.
If you are filing as married and the child's other parent does not claim them, or is disallowed from claiming them.

== == When parents are divorced, the use of the children's exemptions is generally determined by the decree. It has nothing to do with who pays for what. The parent with whom the children reside for over 50% of the year may claim Head of Household status. At no time may both parents claim the same children in the same year on separate income tax returns. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
