If a couple with 15yr old child divorce in 2018, can EIC be claimed?  Divorce decree states that she gets the dependent in even years.  Her income is $20k, his is $60k+. He provided support + help with her rent after split in May ‘18.  He provided more than 50% support in ‘18.  Can she take EIC in 2018 if child lived with her?

Sure.  I don't see anything in your post that would disqualify it.
