Nothing will happen, right now. But, more than likely they will both be audited and the IRS will go through 7 years worth of records for both.
It's just easier to call it now. Tell both of them that both of them are trying to claim her and then they can both come to some sort of agreement to split the income tax.

Did your son live with his dad for over half the year? If not, he's not eligible to claim him, so would be wise not to try. If he lived with your mom for at least have the year (2006), then she would be, otherwise not.
If two people claim the same dependent, then both of them will get letters from the IRS asking for proof that they can claim him. They'll get caught because the same social security number will show on both returns. If both are eligible to claim him (for example, if they all lived together for over 6 months), then the IRS has a series of tie-breaker rules - the first one says if one person is the parent, the other isn't, the deduction goes to the parent. But only if he lived with that parent for over half the year.
So it comes down to which one, or both, that your son lived with for more than half the year.

They will probably both receive a letter from the IRS that will propose an adjustment or ask for proof that they can take the exemption.
The person who provides over half the support of the boy for 2006 should take the deduction.

Who ever claims him first is the one that gets the credit. So whoever gets there taxes done first gets to claim him. It will just kick it back on whoever claimed him second saying that the child has already been claimed. No one will get into trouble they just will get kicked out and have to take him off there return.
