If she was did not meet the definition, the father is

My fiancee and I were just blessed with a child this past
September. We just moved in together in June, and before
that she was living with her dad. We were counting on a
large return on our income taxes because of being able to
claim our child. However, she claimed our son because she
made less money than I did, and we got an e-mail saying she
was claimed as a dependant by her father. Can he go back
and change that so she isnt a dependant if he hasn't gotten
a refund yet?? Or are we just out of luck?? Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
SRTMario
