I'm sure if it was found you would get fined first if you couldn't not pay the fine then you would most likely gt srved to go to court! at that time you will either be garnished wages and or jail time! but it would be a process and with it being sort of minor they jails are too full to have someone like you in them! Plus they just want money!
but can any proof that this other person that is claiming them that your kids didn't live there with them during that year!

No, you are basically allowing them to say that they have supported that child for fifty percent of the year and the problem that you run into is in the future. If they have claimed the child before they have access to that childs ssn and can claim in the future which means that you have to provide proof that you support your own children in order to get your eic. I went through this with my ex. Although he got the deduction as well as I did, I had filed mine afterwards and had to do a paper copy instead of rapid refund and he had to pay his back when they finished the investigation. Big pain in the butt really.

No, not unless you benefited from this. If you encouraged the act, provided information, or tried to cover it up, then you are an accomplice. If someone did this without your knowledge, then you don't have a problem.
However, if you know someone is making a fraudulent claim, then you should information the IRS.

No but they can if they did not pay more than 50% of the childs expenses and the child did not reside with them. But since you seem to be aware of it then possibly you could.

Yes. You could be charged with aiding and abetting the commission of fraud against the tax authorities or conspiracy to defraud.
