Can I claim my 5 yr. old daughter who lives in Las Vegas 6 months with her dad and lives here in Hawaii with me for 6 months.

Her dad has been claiming her for the past 4 yrs. but I was hoping I could too since I have her for 6 months.

Only one person can claim each individual dependent so if you both support her and she spends equal days with each of you, you have to agree on who gets the dependency exemption.
