Claiming Earned Income Credit when filing married Separately

i filed for divorce in July 2022. The divorce is not final but we did go to court in December and had an agreement about temporary custody and child support. The agreement was not legally filed and signed by the judge until January5th, 23 but does include who can claim the children as a dependent.I have lived apart from my spouse since July 26, 22 and the children have lived with me all year. Am I eligible to claim the Earned income credit for the child that is not my dependent?
