County, Illinois, (the circuit court) for dissolution of their
marriage pursuant to 750 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/401 (West 1996
Supp.). On August 24, 1994, in response to some type of
application for relief filed by Mrs. Correale, the circuit court
issued an order (the interim order) which at least: (1) Required
petitioner to vacate the marital premises by August 31 and
granted exclusive possession of the premises to Mrs. Correale;
(2) awarded temporary custody of Michael and Robert to Mrs.
Correale; (3) awarded temporary custody of Natalyne and Christian
to petitioner; and (4) established visitation rights with respect
to the children.
Pursuant to the interim order, petitioner and Mrs. Correale
maintained separate residences from September through December
1994; however, as of the close of that year, they had not entered
into a written separation agreement and they had not yet been
divorced. During the last 4 months of 1994, physical custody of
the children was consistent with the mandates of the interim
order. On November 28, 1995, the circuit court entered a
Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage dissolving the marriage. As
of the date of trial in this case, certain custody matters
remained in dispute.
On his 1994 Federal income tax return, petitioner claimed
dependency exemption deductions for Michael, Robert, Natalyne,
and Christian. Mrs. Correale did not sign a written declaration
