I am a stay at home mom with no earned income for 2016, but I do have a child I support. Can I still get a refund if I don't owe any money for taxes from last year?

I have read conflicting info on the credits regarding children. I've read that even if you don't have any income, you can still receive a credit/refund for them as long as you don't owe any money for taxes in previous years (which I don't) I've also read that you don't qualify for any credits for your children if you didn't earn a certain amount of income. I need some clarification please!
