His amount of back child support will remain the same as it was before if none of the refund was allocated to him. It will not be reduced or increased by the tax return you filed or the refund released to you from the injured spouse form. Because the IRS released your share of the refund, there is no affect to his child support for the amount that was released to you.
If there was any amount of the refund that was attributable to your husband, it will be applied and reduce the child support balance. If you receive the entire refund then none is attributable to him, if you receive a partial refund the portion you did not receive will be applied and reduce his delinquent child support balance.
As far as notification goes, he will be notified of his delinquent child support balance in the way he has been notified in the past. It will reflect his current balance and any activity that has taken place that made adjustments such as more child support due that was unpaid, any refund (his portion) "offset" (official term) that was applied to reduce the balance.
