Once you convinced the IRS that the child was your eligible dependent they should have granted you the exemption and gave you the proper refund. If that did not happen you can go back three years and file an amendment. As for stopping him from doing this in the future the only way to do so is to go to the divorce court that gave you custody and get an order preventing him from claiming the child. When he violates the order you can go back to that judge and eventually they will put him in jail. It is very difficult to file tax returns from jail. You should also make an effort to be the first to file each year.

Well from what you said, you proved to the IRS he was lying and you eventually got your refund, so if that's the case then no. If you didn't get the right refund due to this, then there is probably a way to file an amended return, but I can't hardly imagine it's even worth the paperwork hassle.

It would seem to me that once the Irs pays either of you, their part is done, your beef is with the ex. the district attorneys office should sort out the real problem and help you figure out whether or not you can try to recoup any money. Sounds like your ex is going through bad financial times and is doing all he can to avoid paying you, pretty typical event, My bottom line answer is that the Irs is going to give you a NO answer.

If you get to claim your child on your taxes after proving she lives with you then chances are you have already been given all the money they will give you. but if they did not let you claim her and you can prove she has lived with you Then Yes you need to call a tax place and they will tell you what to do.
