Dependent and amended returns

Hello,

I initially filed my 2023 taxes, and claimed my child as my dependent.

 

Then, due to a dispute with the other parent, I amended my returns, and unclaimed that dependent.

 

Since then, the other parent agrees that I should be the one claiming our child in odd years.

 

If I understand correctly,  I am allowed to file yet another amended return, to claim this child as my dependent. 

 

My questions are: 1) do I need provide something in writing two verify my claim? 

 

2) typically,  how difficult is this to accomplish?

 

3) if no one else is allowed to claim the child, do I enter that they have resided with me for the entire year? * there is a current court order outlining which parent is allowed to claim the child, in alternating years.

 

TIA!
