Shared custody w/ex 50/50. I'm eligible to claim our child as dependent. Does claiming this change the status with the CRA in regards to shared custody and affect my CCTB

The Canada Child Benefit program is run separately from CRA and claims between custodial parent for dependants will not automatically change existing CCB payment schedule. There may be a different estimation of benefits within the summary screen of Turbo Tax but this is based on information provided to the software and not with the arrangement on record at Canada Child Benefit program.
