The ex-husbands deductions are irrelevent for whether you can claim your daughter and grandchild. The criteria for claiming dependents are four requirements: 1. relationship, 2 .residence, 3.age, and 4. support.
Since your daughter is twenty, she would need to be a full time student (minimum 5 months). I am assuming that you have provided over half of her support for the year.
If so, I would say that you are able to claim both your daughter and grandchild as dependents, with all the related tax benefits.
