Can i claim my child on taxes even though the court ordered for the non-custodial parent(father) to claim him every year? i have my son 86% of the year

i am the custodial parent, the mother. my sons dad is the non-custodial. he only has our son 14% (52 days) out of the year. i have him 86% of the year. the court ordered that he gets to claim our son every year. can the IRS override the court papers and let me claim him since i have him most of the year? if i claim him will i get in trouble?
