Assuming you both have income, I would recommend allocating all the exemptions (except for his) to you (the Injured Spouse).  In addition, I would recommend allocating any credits related to the children to you as well.  

Doing this should ensure that the IRS allocates more of the refund to you so that you get the maximum back.
