One of the components that is very important in working out a property settlement agreement or a separation agreement is deciding who’s going to receive the tax exemptions for the children. The tax exemptions allow you to get a larger refund when you file your taxes at the end of the year.

There’s a quid pro quo that usually goes along with that.
