Hey all, I got divorced in 2025. We have 2 kids and will be each claiming one of them. We do have 50\50 custody of them. Is this enough to be able to file as head of household? I'm not 100% sure based on what I'm finding Head of household post divorce. byu/TheSilverAmbush intax Posted by TheSilverAmbush
