Only one of you gets to. Unless it is specified in your court agreements, you both have to decide and then keep to the agreement. Get it in writing. Some people go every other year, or decide in favor of whoever's taxes get the most benefit. Remember, some day the child will graduate, get married, have a baby, or other event and you parents need to be able to get along enough to not be a problem to the child. This is a start.

Can a parent paying child support file child on taxes?
Paying Child Support has nothing to do with any right to claim the child on their return. A divorce agreement or custody agreement usually deals with rights to claim a child on a tax return. If there is no such agreement deciding who get to claim the child then the IRS rules do. Usually the first right is the custodial parent (the person the child lives with). Residency is one of the requirements to claim a dependent.
