Can I claim my 3 kids since I have been since Jan 2016 but then the kids mom has filed taxes already with claiming them. what do I do about me claiming them all year.?

Every year I have claimed our 3 kids... their mom and I are getting divorced.  She started working last July or Aug.. and SHE claimed all 3..  
Now, she has already filed taxes for the year and claimed them on her return.
how do I get to claim them since I was claiming them since last January..?
she should NOT have claimed them.. and in doing so has probably cost me a thousand or two... 
what are my options..?
I feel like just filing and claiming all 3 and if I get audited tell the IRS to go look at HER stuff because she KNEW I was already claiming them...
#so frustrated...
