changing divorce decree ref tax deductions

I was divorced in 1995, 2 kids who live with me. my ex & I each got 1 child to claim on our taxes. He only sees them 2 or 3 times a month & refuses to contribute to their needs other than by ordered child support. I want to find out what I need to do to get both children as my deductions, as they both live with me 99.9% of the time & he has already said he doesn't care if I do this or not.

My response:

Sure. Something like you suggest can be changed as long as both parties agree, in writing, to the change. Once the stipulation (agreement) is signed, a Petition can be filed with the court to have the orders changed. Simple.

But costly.
