You can claim a child as long as the child does not file a joint return with a spouse (except for the sole purpose of claiming a refund) and the child meets the tests for a "qualifying child" or "qualifying relative" as detailed starting on page 11 of Publication 501:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf
In the year a child reaches age 19 (or age 24 if a full time student), the child is no longer a "qualifying child" (unless completely and totally disabled) but might still be a "qualifying relative." The requirements to be a qualifying relative are much harder to meet than the qualifying child requirements.
