My ex claimed them even though her rights were taken from her

If someone else claimed your dependents, then you will be required to file your return by mail.  The IRS will follow up at a later date requesting information from both parties to support their claim.

If the children lived with her for more than half the year, she is entitled to claim them for 2016. Legal custody is irrelevant. The IRS goes by physical custody.
