Deductions & credits

I understand that.  Our decree states he gets one and I get one child.  When I spoke to the IRS they told me that he cannot claim them because they live with me more than the 6 month time frame.  Is it because the years he is asking are too old or?  What rule takes precedence?  Decree on the county level or Federal IRS law?  Sorry to ask so many questions.  My attorney for my divorce is trying to look into it.
