Legal Question in Family Law in California

My work insurance requires my children to be claimed on my taxes to qualify for insurance. I am getting a divorce and would like to know how I am going to keep the children on my insurance if I don't have physical custody and can't claim them on insurance... can a judge order that I get to claim children in order to keep them on my insurance? I am OK splitting refund with ex...
