Have you talked to your divorce lawyer about it? You can always claim them and it will trigger IRS to look into both your taxes. He shouldn't be claiming them if they don't live with him. File first this year and him trying to claim them will also trigger an IRS response. Or have your lawyers talk about the best way to handle this (if they can). Good luck!
