Amend your tax return. If you are getting a refund, wait until you get it. If you owe money, you can file the amended once the return is processed. To amend:

Your ex will have to get an identity protection pin for each child in order to efile.

The other parent may be able to get IP PIN's for the children that will enable him to e-file and claim them---or he can claim them and mail his return instead of e-filing.  He does not have to wait for you to amend to use either option.
