Claiming a child on taxes

My stbx and I had agreed on joint physical and legal custody but also that I would claim our daughter each year on taxes. He is still agreeing to that to some degree but wants me to agree to allow him to "buy out" the claim if he ends up benefitting from it more than I would in any given year. In other words, we would both do our taxes and he would do his both ways...claiming her and not claiming her. If it ends up saving him more money than it does me, he wants to be able to claim her and then pay me the equivalent of the benefit I would have had I claimed her. I understand that I would then have to claim that money as income, however he said he could label it as "additional child support." I am reluctant to agree to this because I'm leery of the whole "additional child support" thing and how it would work.
He wants the whole thing in the papers to guarantee him the right to do that and I say no because I'm afraid I might get screwed in the end and be stuck with doing this.
Can something like this even be put in divorce papers?
