It is not clear whether state family courts can still order the CP to sign over the exemption to the NCP. I assume the state court can order the CP to sign over the exemption using Form 8332 but now it appears the court should also order the CP to not unilaterally revoke the assignment to the NCP.

This was an issue for me this past year. My Ex-wife refused to give me the deduction per the divorce decree. My accountant included a copy of the divorce decree with the filing for this past year. The IRS sent me a letter because there were two returns claiming my son. I sent them a letter back explaining I have been living within the bounds of my divorce decree since 1993. I explained I provided financial support, room and board, living expenses, tuition and medical coverage per the divorce decree for my son. No response from the IRS yet.
