Unless NY laws are very different than the rest of the country, no, that can't be done.

Call a NY tax pro & ask. The answer depends on NY state laws; federal laws are irrelevant.

yes you can, but do you have physical custody?, or does the mother?. the court will often rule on behalf of the child's parent who has physical custody and can award federal tax to you if this is your case, but the reason why a judge may grant this are very particular, meaning there has to be another reason greater than the money.
