Legal Question in Tax Law in Iowa

i have a 14 year old daughter , her mother and me were never married . My daughter lives full

time with her mother and has no income , she is supported by her mother and my child support.

I have a court document that states that i can claim my daughter on my tax return as long as i

am not behind on the child support , i have claimed her the last 13 years but my ex was told that

she could claim her , a legal adviser said i must get a irs form 8332 from my ex to be able to

claim my daughter , h&r block says that my court papers are from 1999 and i do not need that

form , they said that just sending a copy of my court papers (like i did last year) is good enough,

who is correct?

I'm not a tax attorney. You might check the IRS help line.
