Can I amend my taxes to remove my daughter as a dependent so that her father who I am unmarried to but live with can claim her?

@Love 3111 No matter whether the other return is amended or not, another return claiming the child cannot be e-filed this year at all.   Any other return claiming that same child for 2021 has to be printed, signed and mailed.

I understand you have to mail the return my question is how will you know it's ok to try and file this dependant

You don't have to wait to mail your return.   You can mail it right away.

I am in this situation as well, I filed my taxes and got approved, but dad got denied. I wasn’t meaning to claim our daughter as a dependent, he was. She was born in 2021 so he should be getting the child tax credit. If I wait and amend my taxes once I get my return, when should he paper file his? And will he still get the child tax credit?

@Laytri18   He doesn't have to wait.  He can mail his return now. since he has to mail it.

He should complete his return as you intended the filing to go, so claiming the dependent and the Child Tax Credit.  He should then print and mail his return in as soon as it is complete.  Once your return is processed, you should amend and e-file the amendment.  This will give you the quickest option for getting done.
