the answer is yes, except the odds of your prevailing are probably not good; if both of you are working, it is quite routine for the court to allocate the tax dependency exemption between both of you. Placement would not be a factor, as much as what you both do for a living, how much you both make in gross annual income, and who would arguably benefit more economically with taking the exemption.
