What you said was you do not take the child as an exemption. Tax exemptions
and tax filing status are two separate things with different IRS definitions
for when and how they apply. No state court divorce decree can override
federal tax law. If you gave up the child exemption for some reason you can
still file head of household.

CS has nothing to do with the NCP's expenses. It doesn't matter what he
claims as his expenses. His income is the only real factor used for
determining CS awards.
