Whoever has the child the most in their home gets to claim the child on their taxes, unless you make another agreement. If he has it on paper that you said that he can claim tham, then he can. Otherwise, it is whoever the child spent the most overnights with.
According to the IRS, the only person who can claim a child as a dependent on a tax return is a relative (to include step parents, foster parents, etc) who provided custodial support for the child for more than 50% of the year. In other words, if the child lives with you for at least 183 out of 365 days during the tax year, you can claim him/her. If the child lived with you for 182 days or less, you cannot.

To claim a child as a dependent on your taxes, the child must have lived with you and you must have provided support for over 50% of the year. So the mother in this case can claim her grandson on her taxes if she supported the child for at least 183 days out of the year, regardless of whether or not the mother of the child owes back child support.
