More details to this question:
I am writing on the behave of my brother. He is a mailman and works very long hours during the week and can't really find time to handle this himself. He is looking for a lawyer to help with a tax fraud situation. The past two years someone else has been filing his daughter on their taxes. My brother has 100% custody of his daughter. We have printed his last two years worth of tax papers and sent to the IRS and haven't heard anything back yet. When this first happened last year he sent his tax papers in to the IRS and we still haven't heard anything back. This year I did his taxes early and within five minutes we were informed that he couldn't file his daughter because someone has already done so. He is owed two years worth of tax returns, all of the stimulus money that we have received over that past year and now his tax credit. All the other lawyers I come across are catering to people that owe the IRS not the other way around.

If there was a property settlement agreement which discussed custody, it likely contained a provision about the child credit. If your brother is supposed to get it, the spouse possibly violated the agreement and could be held in contempt.
I would need to review the agreement, but, even without that, there may be a cause of action against her. Either way, like it or not, the IRS probably wont take action against her but I am happy to review the matter.
