Education Expenses

Father gets the education expenses but, depending on His income, these expenses may be phased out so no tax benefit.

Yup,

Client with daughter filed as(HOH) paid Tuition & Fees for Son claimed as a dependent on his noncustodial fathers return.

claimed by father? arlo

Yes, you are correct. Parent claiming dependent gets the education credit.
