No way to expedite it if you claim the child. But you can file on paper and mail your return that claims the child. If your ex already claimed the child, your e-file will be rejected and you will not be able to e-file this year even if he amends his return.
If you decide to file now without claiming your child, you will need to amend later. It takes the IRS four to six months----sometimes longer -- to process an amended return.
