Dependents

Do I have to claim my child as a dependent?  They are under 18, I provide most of their support, and they live with me full time.  I do not get any benefit claiming them on my tax form and they pay less when they file as a single filer. 

Is there a minimum age or minimum support requirement for single tax filers? I cannot find any requirement in the IRS instructions on the subject.
