Do I add dependants on my tax return if I am no longer the primary caregiver of my children?

I no longer have full custody of my kids and their father has 80% custody for the time being, would I still add them on my tax return or no?

Unless you are claiming a credit or deduction for them, you don't need to put them on your return.
