If you are asking the question about the person making the lessor amount claiming the child, probably not. In order to claim the child as a dependent you must pay over half of the living expenses.
Generally, if one person is making a lot more than the other, the person making less is not likely to pay more than half of the living expenses. If somehow, the person making less is paying more than half of the living expenses, then yes, they could claim the child.
