Question

I pay my half my sons college tuition but my x husband claims him as a dependent. Can I take the tuition I pay as a deduction?

No.  The tuition credit, or deduction, goes with the student's dependency.  So, your ex spouse can count the money you paid, as well as the money he paid, in claiming the credit for himself.
