The courts can have you sign Form 8332 where every other year (or however the courts order it)  the non-custodial parent claims the child's exemption, which for 2019 is zero and can claim the Child Tax Credit. 

The Earned Income Credit, Child and Dependent Care Credit, and ability to file Head Of Household can never be given to the non-custodial parent.
