If you two are divorced or separated and live apart, the custodial parent can release the claim of exemption to the non custodial one. The custodial parent, the one the child lives with over half the year, can claim Head of Household, Child Care and EIC if they qualify for them. 

The noncustodial parent can claim the dependency and Child Tax Credit.
