I am a US citizen living in Japan. My husband is a nonresident alien. He has not lived in the U.S. in over 10 years and has no U.S. income.
We both pay for our child's expenses.
As my husband is not filing tax as he has no U.S. income, could I report my child as dependent (qualifies for child tax credit)?
I am choosing MFS. I work and pay for half of household and child's expenses.

Qualifying child – and eligible to be claimed as a dependent the rules are:
However, for the CTC and Earned Income Credit, if you lived with your spouses for the last six months of 2023, you must file a joint return to claim them.
Your child needs an SSN or ITIN
and the rules say you must provide OVER 50% of the costs of keeping up the household if you did not live with your spouse for the last six months of 2023
