That's not true. More kids = more deductions. The value of the deductions starts to go away if the family has high enough income, but not due to number of kids.

THAT's the rest of the story. Even if your ex isnt' working, if her husband is making money and they're filing jointly, then the deductions ARE worth a great deal to them. You should have mentioned that in the first post - since the answer would have been different.

It doesn't matter whether your husband's ex is working or not - as long as there's family income, the deductions are worthwhile. And, yes, her new husband can claim the children on his taxes (actually, the husband and wife are claiming the children on their joint taxes).

Under the circumstances, it seems unlikely that you're going to be able to get a change in the tax situation. You have an agreement in place and the courts don't like to change existing agreements unless there's been a change in circumstances - and there's no sign of that.
