Proconnect is calculating the additional $1400 for her second child on the return and she knows her soon to be Ex-husband received it. How should I handle on the return? She is in the process of a divorce and has lived apart from her husband since 2020. Don't want this to hold up her return.

If she's entitled to it she gets it. It doesn't matter what he got.
But - didn't the IRS letters regarding the advanced payments say each spouse got 1/2?
The more I know, the more I don't know.

She is amidst a divorce from her husband and she only knows what she received and it was $2800 for her and 1 child. Both of her children live with her and have been since February 2020 when she separated from her husband. We filed MFJ in 2020 using her address because she was being nice to her husband as if he filed MFS he would of had to pay a lot in federal and state income tax and when they filed jointly they benefited and though they were separated and living apart they were still married. IT took over 4 months for her to receive her refund. If she filed separately or HOH since she did not live with her husband for the last 10 months of 2020 she would of still received roughly the same refund amount. She was being very generous to her husband by filing jointly. In 2021 this is not the case as their divorce is still not final but she refuses to file with him. I do not want her taxes to be held up since she receives minimal support from him. It is messy but she is entitled to the full 3rd stimulus of $4200 (additl $1400) but she knows her husband already received it and did not share with her. I know she is entitled to it but it may become a hold up on the filing of her return. This is a bit messy for my liking.

he believes he received the full stimulus but she can not confirm because they are not on speaking terms. I know we will be able to file without issue but acceptance by the IRS may be a problem since their records with show the $1400 potentially already paid to her husband.

Does the IRS letter showing what she got agree with what she got?
If yes, use that.
The more I know, the more I don't know.
