Yes, if you meet the below qualifications.
Child of divorced or separated parents or parents living apart
.
Even if you can't claim your child as a dependent, he or she is treated as your qualifying person if:
1. The child was under age 13 or wasn't physically or mentally able to care for himself or herself,
2. The child received over half of his or her support during the calendar year from one or both parents who are divorced or legally separated under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance, are separated under a written separation agreement, or lived apart at all times during the last 6 months of the calendar year,
3. The child was in the custody of one or both parents for more than half the year, and
4. You were the child's custodial parent.
The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights in 2016. If the child was with each parent for an equal number of nights, the custodial parent is the parent with the higher adjusted gross income. For details and an exception for a parent who works at night, see Publication 501.
The noncustodial parent can't treat the child as a qualifying person even if that parent is entitled to claim the child as a dependent under the special rules for a child of divorced or separated parents.
