The parent who wants to claim the children should list the child, say the child lives with them all year, there is NO custody agreement.  (The custody agreement question only applies to parents who live apart and share custody and have a court order, and does not apply to parents who live together and have an informal agreement how to file.)

 

The other parent does not list the child at all.  Just leave them off.
