Above information (By Jack Arbuthnot, Ph.D. and Donald A. Gordon, Ph.D.,Third Edition) Excerpted from
the booklet by the same title, published by the Center for Divorce Education
Divorcing parents in volatile situations
should immediately enroll their child/ren in the Children’s Passport Issuance Alert Program so that you will be notified if your EX attempts
to apply for a passport for your child/ren (which s/he will need if s/he wants to take your child/ren out of the country).
IRS TAX FORM - Release of Claim to Exemption for Child
of Divorced or Separated Parents - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8332.pdf- this is the form that the non custodial parent
MUST have signed by the custodial parent to be able to legally claim a child on their income tax return.
