Culd you please tell me, I have 50per cent care of my 2 children being the age of 8years and 5 years. I have my children 4 nights one week and three the following week including getting them to and from school. Am I entitled to tax credits or any other benefits. Thank you

No you wouldn't be entitled to any thing extra
BUT you should at tax time figure out whose tax would better benefit by claiming them.

Would you get more or your ex.

Like if you can get your taxes all back but your spouse maybe makes less but is eligible for earned income credi t and you aren't then whoever would get more back would be the way to go.

Do either one of you pay child support?
