My husband claims our child as a dependent on his return. We file seperate. Can I claim EIC?

My ex-husband claims dependents for deduction purposes. The children live with me. I do not claim the children as dependents on my return, however, I want to claim them as qualifing EIC children. I am the custodial parent. I plan on filing as Head of Household.

You can release the dependeny to your ex and retain the right to file as head of household and take the EIC. He gets the CTC by taking the dependency.
