How do I work it when a couple lives together with children and their circumstances have changed since 2020?

I have a couple who live together and have 2 children.  In the past the dad earned more money so I claimed Head of Household and he claimed the kids.  So, he received the Advance Child Tax Credit and the stimulus payment for him and the 2 kids.  In 2021 the mom earned more money and I should file her as Head of Household and him as single and she should claim the kids.  My problem is that I don't feel it is right that I would be putting that she received no CTC and only herself for the stimulus payment.  I feel that would be double dipping but I don't know how to fix it.
