More than likely, your ex-wife will be considered the custodial parent and therefore the child would be claimed as her dependent on her return. (Because the child lived you both, but then with only your x-wife for the remainder of the year, so the child lived with your x-wife longer during the year)
You are liable for the amount reported on your letter in regards to the Advanced Child Tax Credits.
There is a good chance you will be eligible for "Repayment Protection", but that is based on your income.
If you are not eligible for the "Repayment Protection" you could try to work out something with your ex, since she will most likely get the full amount of the credit, including the amount of your half of the payments. Or you could try to take her back to court, but this is something the attorney should have thought about before making an agreement.
The IRS will not step in.
