Question

Roy and Linda were divorced in 2016. The divorce decree awards custody of their children to Linda but is silent as to who is entitled to claim them as dependents. If Roy furnished more than half of their support, he can claim them as dependents in 2017.

a) True
b) False

Answer 1

If Roy furnished more than half of the children's support, he can claim them as dependents in 2017.

Step-by-step explanation:

The divorce decree being silent as to who is entitled to claim the children as dependents means that it does not specify whether Roy or Linda can claim them. However, according to the information given, if Roy furnished more than half of their support in 2017, he can claim them as dependents. This means that the statement 'Roy can claim them as dependents in 2017' is true.
