If my ex husband is claiming our daughter this year, can I still claim child care expenses?

Yes, if you paid for childcare so you could work, run a business, or attend school. 

It's important to note that childcare expenses can be claimed by both parents but the total claimed cannot exceed the maximum for the child's age.
