If he is not claiming your children, there is no reason for him to enter them on his return. If he does and files first your return will be rejected for duplicate use of a social security number. Then you would need to print and mail your return.
You only enter your children's social security numbers on your return if you are claiming them for a deduction or credit or to be considered head of household. You do not enter them just because you have kids.
