If I only made a few hundred dollars and have 4 kids but don't want the fathers to claim them, can I still file and receive any money?

That's really petty... sorry but it is. I assume the father is paying child support and is entitled to claim them. What does the divorce and custody agreement have to say about it.

I tend to agree with Smoothy.
You would be better served to cooperate with the father and attempt to share the Earned Income Credit he may get by claiming at least two of the child. YOU can still claim two and get some type of EIC as well.
