Angry Sounds like extortion

I received an email from my ex-wife that read (and I quote)

As you know, I purposely did not tell Child Support Services about the extra funds you make working for local caterers. If you let me take our daughter on my taxes this year I will release you from these payments.

First of all I make less then $600.00 per year working for these caterers. I won't even receive a 1099-form for taxes from them

Secondly Child Support Services raised my child support at the beginning of this year.

My question is can she do any of what she is threatening to do?

She cannot release you from any payments that have not been court ordered.
However, if she wishes, she can inform CS services about your additional income. The problem with that is twofold- one- a modification was recently done, so it might not make any difference. And two- she will have to PROVE that you have the extra income, which apparently she will be unable to do.

What does your court order state regarding who claims on taxes? My advice, stick strictly to the court order.

That's good. It would be wise for you to simply explain to ex that you will continue to follow the court order- this is your year, next year is her's. That way there can't be any problems popping up later with her claiming that you allowed a deviation from the court order once, so why not again every year.
