Payment of child support is not relevant.  Are you legally divorced from the other parent?

If so, since the child does not live with you, has the custodial parent relinquished there claim for the child in 2025 by completing a Form 8332, Release/Revocation of Release of Claim to Exemption for Child by Custodial Parent?
