What are you really trying to do? Are you trying to claim the child as a dependent? Not claim them at all?
If the child did not live with you at all and you cannot claim them as a dependent on your return, then it is best to just remove them.
If you are the non custodial parent, is this changing when you go back in and revisit the section or is it changing and showing something different on the form? If it is showing 0 on the dependent worksheet then that is fine, just do not go back to that section. When you go back into that section, it does revert back to 6 months and tells you that is how you can get a credit.
