Anderson v. Anderson

The Supreme Court affirmed as modified, holding that the court abused its discretion by ordering the parties to alternately claim the dependency exemption for their child but otherwise did not err in its judgment. Modified to award solely to Husband the dependency exemption attributable to the parties’ child.
