I do not understand whether you e-filed a return claiming your children or not. You say "it didn't reject it.."...
If YOU are the custodial parent then you are the one who can file a tax return and claim the children even if just for the stimulus money. Enter your children as dependents on your tax return in My Info You can get the stimulus money by using the recovery rebate credit in the Federal Review section. Enter only the amount of stimulus (if any) that you received.
Since your ex has already filed a return, you will not be able to e-file. That is why we are telling you to print, sign and mail your own return that claims your children. If you do not have any signed agreement with the ex then YOU are the one who is supposed to receive the stimulus money for them.
