The details are not yet out about the stimulus, but it is believed that payments will be determined based on information on the 2019 tax return if it has been filed, and the 2018 tax return if it has not.
If your children were his legal dependents for tax purposes in 2019, it would follow that any portion of payment intended to go for the children would, unfortunately, go to him.
At this point, however, we still do not know details as the stimulus bill is not yet law.
We will be posting updates HERE as soon as we have good, accurate information that you can use.
I am sorry that I don't have better news for you today and perhaps something is in the bill that will address your situation, but at this time we just do not know.
