Yes.. please contact your State Attorney General and file a claim or rather a legal action that your son's father is committing an act of fraud. Then go to the IRS in fill out with called a whistleblower forum. Simply Google it to get the code number. Give your son's father's information and he will be fined and that money goes to you and hopefully your State Attorney General will investigate and have him charged and he'll serve some federal time.
No need to do any of that - just file a correct tax return and the IRS will send letters as by post above said. The person improperly claiming will have to pay any refund back plus interest and penalties.
(A state will not get involved in a Federal tax issue. That is totally up to the IRS.)
