@TAI3 you left out some cricial facts to give you a decent answer,.
Who did the children live with more than 6 months of the year? THAT parent is controling the tax credits.
in 2022, what filing status did you use in your tax return?
in 2022, in the last 6 months of the year, did you live with your spouse or did you two live apart?
are you legally separated? if yes, what was the date of that legal separation?
if your soon to be ex-spouse did not work, the tax credits are not worth anything to her.
