Yes, you can do that, and you should, as long as you aren't the custodial parent claiming either Head of Household filing status, the Child Care Credit, or the Earned Income Credit.

Since those are tax benefits that can be claimed without claiming the exemptions, you would have to enter the children in the dependents section, but indicate that the other parent is claiming them.
