If it's not spelled out in your judgment, it goes to whoever has the kid the majority of nights in a given year.

Not legal advice. Just a hunch. See a tax attorney for confirmation.

You need to get the custodial parent to fill out Form 8332 (regardless of what is in a divorce decree, this form supersedes any legal agreement in the eyes of the IRS). Then you have to meet all the normal requirements of the CTC.
