Head of Household / Dependents / Adult children

My adult daughter and her two children moved in with me in July 2012. It is my understanding only one person per address can be head of household, and that person certainly is me. However, what do we do about dependents? She doesn't make nearly enough to support herself and children, and in that regard she is dependent upon my help. She, of course, would like to claim herself and her children on her return. If she claims herself, can she claim one child and I the other? Are we allowed to do that? I feel I should be able to claim all 3 of them, but that deprives my daughter of her right to claim her own children, correct? To make matters more complicated, she does receive a small amount of child support. Does the father have any claims at tax time? They are legally separated but not divorced. She lived under my roof the entire year of 2013. Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.
