As I recall, the form is just called Child Tax Credit. You can get it at the post office with the other tax forms. It's a pretty straight forward form that you should be able to follow. I don't think she needs to sign anything. They shouldn't question it unless both of you file the same year and then a red flag will go up. You could get her to sign something if it makes you feel more secure though.
