Court order states that I always clam son in even years, like 2018. Son emancipated in Apr 2018. He spent more nights with ex-wife in 2018. Can I claim son in 2018?

The divorce court order states that I claim son in even years (like 2018) and ex-wife claims son in odd years.

Son was emancipated in April 2018, when he graduated from high school.  His is a full time student.  US citizen.

Son spent more overnights with ex-wife than me in 2018.  

Can I claim son in 2018?  I know I don't get head of household, but do the overnights actually overrule a court order to claim child exemption?
