This is happening a lot with children of divorced parents. The law did not address this issue, so in many cases each parent ends up getting stimulus for the same child -- one of you in 2020 and the other one on a 2020 return in 2021. If your ex was behind in child support he should not have received stimulus money---if the IRS knew he was behind -- but if he already got it, he will not be required to pay it back.
