1. If the father was granted the right to claim the child as a dependent on his taxes in the divorce decree, then you cannot claim the child on your taxes for that particular year.

2. If the child is not living with you and you still wish to claim them on your taxes, you may be eligible to do so if you meet certain criteria. You must be the custodial parent who has physical custody of the child for more than 50% of the year, and you must have provided more than half of the child's support during the tax year.

3. However, if the divorce decree states that the father has the right to claim the child as a dependent, then you cannot claim the child as a dependent, even if you meet the criteria mentioned above.

4. It is important to review your divorce decree and consult a tax professional to determine your rights and options regarding claiming dependents on your taxes.
