Assuming she meets the qualifications, yes she could receive both EITC and HOH.
Q is the proper code.
8332 is technically the way to go.

Assuming taxpayer has residential custody and he/she qualifies for HOH. Taxpayer can take both HOH and EIC. Do your diligence tho.

As the custodial parent, she gets HOH and EIC/DCB (if applicable) , if she signs the 8332 to let dad claim them, then dad gets the CTC for them. (you'll use Code Q on her dependent worksheet)
If she doesn't sign the 8332 dad gets nothing, she can take all, but he can take her back to court for being in contempt of a court order.

He should attach the 8332 to his return, but if he doesnt and nobody else tries to claim the child, then it wont be an issue for him.

Very tired so that I understand completely.
My client, custodial parent gets HOH and EIC.
I file Q on her dependent worksheet
Have her provide a signed 8332 to the Father.

I do not believe marriage has anything to do with the 8332.
