Who do the children live with? Are you the custodial parent? Do the children live with you? Did your ex file a return claiming the children, and cause your e-file to be rejected? If so, you have to file by mail to claim your children and then let the IRS sort it out.
You say only that your ex has not worked; you do not say if he had other income from other sources such as retirement, investments, etc. etc. and you have not told us where the kids lived.
