additional child tax credit question?

Question

My ex is signing a form to allow me to claim our daughter for exemtion purposes in 2006 even though she lived with him, I can;t recall the name of it so any help there would be great too so I don;t have to search for it to download LOL.
My question is, with this form can we also claim the additional child tax credit with her or does this form NOT apply to that deduction? It looks to me like she would not be a qualifying child for THAT credit, but for exemption purposes only. Thought I'd ask for anyone elses thoughts on it though.
Thanks!
