1. Only custodial parent can claim the child.
2. Even non-related person can claim the child if the child lived with them all the year.

A dependent can be your qualifying child or qualifying relative. Read about the requirements to claim a dependent: Your U.S. Tax Return: Requirements for claiming a dependent (http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/requirements-for-claiming-dependent.html)

Contact the IRS and make an appointment to see an agent. Bring proof that your children are yours (birth certificates should do) and start the process. The IRS will track down the other party who claimed the children and do the burning for you!
