No one can stop someone from claiming a dependent on a tax return.  If they file a tax return before you then you have to print and mail your tax return claiming the dependents.  If you are due a refund the IRS will pay the refund.  Within a year the IRS will investigate the issue of two returns with the same dependents.  The loser of the investigation has to repay any refund along with penalties and interest.
