IF you have actually released the claim to the father, you will be unable to claim the children. The IRS looks first at who has custody of the child or where does the child spend most nights. If you have custody of the children, you may need to sign a form 8332 releasing the claim.
Please review this article on Form 8332. The article includes your rights as the custodial parent and what you lose by not claiming your child along with who needs the form signed.
