Default Tax Question for Single Dads

Just curious if any of you know the answer to this. I don't have full time custody of my kids, so they aren't a dependent for tax purposes. Part of my agreement though is that I pay for all Extra-Curricular Activities. Even though they aren't dependents, can I claim the Sports and Culture tax credits for each child since I am the one paying for that?

If you have the receipts, then you can claim it.

I know when I was in school, my mom had initially paid for some lessons for my daughter, and I wasn't able to claim it, even though I had paid her back.

Yes, you can claim the credits so long as you didnt cede the credits to her as part of the separation agreement.
