In my case, the nice lady from the IRS called.
I sent them proof that I was the “Legal Custodial Parent”.
They said “thank you very much.”
About a month later my ex was sent a bill that she was none to happy about…from what I hear.

The second parent will have to pursue this via US mail with the IRS. Then the IRS will decide.

They will both be required to prove the right to claim the children and the IRS will decide. Then one will be forced to return the $ resulting from the illegal claim.
