Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

I have residential custody of my son, his father has visitation & only provides a pays about a fourth what is costs to raise our son. He doesn't provide insurance (health or dental), doesn't pay child care cost & rarely exercises his overnight visitation. The judge gave him the right - I didn't consent - to claim our son on his taxes every other year. If I claim our son on my taxes even though its not my year will I be penalized.
