im not an expert but from what i found :
In addition to the qualifications above, to claim an exemption for your child, you must be able to answer "yes" to all of the following questions.
Unfortunately, if your husband is the noncustodial parent he would need to have the mother of the boys sign form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent , unless they have a divorce decree dated before 2009 that allows him to claim the dependents. If she doesn't agree to sign this form, your husband will be unable to claim the dependents.
However, the mother can't just let her brother claim the boys. He would have to live with the children for more than half the year for them to count as his qualifying children, or else provide more than half their support to claim them as qualifying relatives. She can't just allow anyone she chooses to claim the children as dependents. Form 8332 is only for the noncustodial parent.
