Can I claim child care exp? I'm married, filing sep., spouse did not have any custody of the kids, kids have no 2nd parent.

My spouse also itemized. We were married in 2016, but spouse did not have any custody/adoptive rights over the kids. The kids have no second parent. No one else can claim their child care expenses. Is there any way I can still claim the child care expenses?
