Whether you can claim the children on your taxes depends on your divorce agreement. Only one parent can claim per year, in any case.
it depends what state you live in and if you claim the children on your taxes, or if you are the not the biological father of the other three kids you need to be married to their mother in order for them to be any kind of dependent for them to count for your income
You can only claim a child on your taxes if you provide at least 50% of the FINANCIAL support (through mortgage, food, clothing, education, etc.) for the child. If you provided at least 50% of the support for the child, then you can claim the child for the tax year in which you provided the support.
