@Opus 17 yeah I don't think he'll want to open door. There's life ins, etc. he didn't do, not that I gave him a hard time either. What I think we'll do is what you said, I didn't understand before, but I get the difference between child exemption & earn income credits, etc. So, we'll do that and he'll be covered and he said he'd give me a portion plus the full stimulus he got for our son. Then moving forward, we'll change the order so I claim him from now on, since he's in agreement too. Thanks for all your help.
