- 3 - provisions of the Shared Custody Agreement (custody agreement) executed by Cramer on May 12, 1988, and by Dunda on June 6, 1988. Pursuant to the divorce decree, Dunda and Cramer share custody of their children: Melissa J. Dunda, born on June 3, 1980; Charles E. Dunda, born on September 14, 1984 (Charles); and Daniel F. Dunda, born on October 29, 1987 (Daniel). The divorce decree designates Cramer’s home as the children’s primary residence and orders Dunda to pay Cramer $800 per month in child support. Paragraph 14 of the divorce decree states that “Father shall be entitled to claim the three children as dependents for income tax purposes”. Dunda and his attorney appeared before the divorce court, but neither Dunda nor his attorney signed the divorce decree. Neither Cramer nor her attorney appeared before the divorce court, but they both signed the divorce decree on the last page, to indicate their approval “as to form and content”. Subsequently, the divorce court issued an order, filed November 29, 1995, decreasing Dunda’s child support obligation to $718 per month (child support order). Paragraph T of the child support order stated: The Obligor has a child support obligation of at least $1,200 per year. If Obligor has paid at least that amount in full during the calendar year and all support due for the calendar year, as well as any court ordered arrearage payments due for the calendar year by December 31, or if by order of assignment, by January 15 of the following year, the federal tax exemption for minor children is allocated as follows: as previously ordered. Obligee shall execute the necessary Internal Revenue Service forms to transfer the exemption(s) consistent with this Order.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next
