More details to this question:
My ex-husband and I had agreed and it's written on the MSA that he would claim one child from now till she is 18 and I will claim two till they turn 18. However he went behind my back and claimed two children on his income tax. Is there anything I can do? He does have arrears that he is paying me back through a IOD.

You file for the kids that you agreed to and the IRS will probably flag both reports to determine what is going on; at which time you will give them a copy of the divorce decree showing who is allowed to claim who. Moreover, the typically IRS guiding principle in this area is that the credits go to the parent with legal custody of the children.
