He can file and claim the child. If she files first he needs to mail his in. The IRS does not really care what the divorce decree says. If the child lives with her she can claim it. IF you lose the exemption fight then you can take her to court and she can be charged with contempt.

since IRS sets the rules when filing income tax returns, the rule is the parent with whom the child spends the majority 'nites' with claims the exemption
