no one is asking you to disclose information. However, it is a black letter tax law that the only parent who can claim EIC is the parent where the child lives more than half the nights of the year. EIC cannot be shared or transferred to the noncustodial parent, even if the noncustodial parent is claiming the child as a dependent. If you were removing EIC but your ex did not have custody of the children half the nights of the year, then you are giving up thousands of dollars of credit and you are enabling your ex to commit tax fraud. If the IRS discovers this, both you and your ex can be barred from EIC for a minimum of two years.
