If the custodial parent gives you a signed Form 8332 you can claim kids. See the form and instructions here ; https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8332.pdf
Paying child support does not mean you can claim the child. As stated, ONLY if the custodial parent has signed a Form 8332 then you can get the child tax credit. Otherwise, only the custodial parent can claim the child. Child support is not deductible on your tax return.
