I'm more concerned about them saying I don't have proof that they live with me since he apparently is pretending otherwise.


 

How would the apartment people see your ex's tax return? If they don't see his tax return, it doesn't matter what he puts on it.


Claiming the children on your tax return doesn't prove that they live with you. You could be the noncustodial parent claiming them. Not claiming the children on your tax return doesn't mean that they don't live with you. You could be the custodial parent but allowed the noncustodial parent to claim them, which is, in fact, what happened. Hopefully the apartment people understand all of this. So ask them what kind of proof they want.
