Only if the custodial parent allows you to claim her as a dependent.  To do this, the child's other parent must be willing to sign Form 8332 to give you authorization to claim her.  Without that form, you cannot claim her.  Paying child support does not by IRS rules allow you to claim her.  Please see this FAQ for more information:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3301985
