yes, if you meet the requirements

IRS Deduction

Regardless of any custody agreement, or court order the IRS has it's own definition of who the custodial parent is. Section 152(e)(4) defines custodial parent as the parent having custody for the greater portion of the calendar year and noncustodial parent as the parent who is not the custodial parent. If you feel that the mother may challenge this, or attempt to claim the child as well you can also double cover your back by having the Mom fill out form 8332, which basically says "I am the custodial parent of this child, and I am giving up my rights to claim the child this year.

The IRS rule is that if you have the child for more than half of the year, and they literally mean 183 days, you are the custodial parent.

Time spent in Day Care and/or School is deducted from the total.

Child support cannot be claimed on taxes. A payer of child support may be able to claim the child as a dependent, but the payments are not tax deductible or count as taxable income.

You probably can't claim a child you're paying child support for period. The IRS rules generally work out that the custodial parent gets to claim the child.
