I got a divorce in 2005 my ex-husband and I had 5 children thru this marriage. In the divorce, it stated that we claim 3 and 2 switch it up every other year. Back in 2008-2009 taxes he went and claimed all 5 kids. I had claimed what I was supposed to I got red flagged by the IRS and lost out on claiming my kids, since then he has claimed the kids for the 2009 which I just discussed 2010-2011-2012-2013. I did get to claim the only child we have left under 18 for 2014 taxes.
You should have gone to the coupe where you got the divorce and filed on him for contempt of court. By waiting for years, you have probably lost your rights but you should talk with a local divorce attorney.
