I filed for divorce in December 2021. Nothing has been finalized yet.

STBXW hands me her W2, and she did not pay any federal income tax for 2021. I paid about 8K

Live in Texas

We have 4 kids (9 - 17)

So now I’m thinking I should file separately, claiming 2 of the kids as dependents (I brought in 90% of the income).

Just looking for some input.

Am I missing something? Will her lawyer use it against me in court? Would a judge look unfavorably on it?
