Court composed of OSWALD A. DECUIR, MICHAEL G. SULLIVAN, and BILLY HOWARD EZELL, Judges.


EZELL, Judge.

Janita Fontenot Chapman appeals a judgment ordering her to sign IRS tax form 8332, thereby allowing her ex-husband, Alex Chapman, to claim their minor children as dependents on his taxes for the years 1998 and 2000.

For the following reasons, we affirm the decision of the trial court.
