If my child's other parent claims him for the $2000 Child Tax Credit and a Dependent, Can I claim him on the $500 Other Dependent Tax Credit?

No. In order to receive the Child Tax Credit or Other Dependent Credit. You must claim that child as a dependent on your tax return. Dependents cannot be split between tax returns.
