You should check with your tax consultant to be sure, but typically the custodial parent has the first option to claim the child as dependents on his/her income tax returns unless the Court Order states differently.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
