After you file

Only one person can claim a dependent so if your daughter is resident with your ex-wife it would seem that she should claim the credit.  However, if you have a custody arrangement for shared custody and your ex-wife does not need the credit, you may be able to claim it for 2014.  Be careful that both of you do not claim the credit - in that case, CRA may disallow the credit for both of you.
