Ex claimed EITC on one child even though the child lived with me for the whole year, how to proceed?

So my tax return was rejected, I have 2 children and they both live with me, but when we got divorced I told her she could claim one of them. That's how I set up my return at least but apparently she's claimed my daughter for the EITC even though the children were not with her.

Would I be better off taking my daughter off of my return or filing a paper return? It's about an 1800 dollar difference for me, and I don't care if she has to pay back what she will end up owing,
