Question

My son is a full time college student, age 19, who I fully support. Can I claim him as a dependent if 1) he doesn't live with me, and 2) his mother isn't claiming him?

Maybe.  I suggest you use this IRS online tool to see if your son qualifies as your dependent:

 

Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?

 

And here is a TurboTax article on who qualifies as a dependent:
