You have to have the child you want to claim on your taxes at least 50% of the time to claim them on your taxes. I am assuming both children live with your ex wife and you have visitation or shared custody. Per California Family Code, if the child spend at least 50% of the time over the year with you, you may claim them on your taxes.
