Form 8962

I understand the Tax Family component of calculating the amount of Tax Credit allowed.  But because of the connection to Form 1095-A, I'm surprised that whether the tax payer is paying the health insurance or not does not come into play. To clarify: if divorced with one children, the person claiming the children deductions gets more out of the Tax Credit, whether that parent is paying the health insurance premium for the child or not. So, the payer of the health insurance premiums has no impact on the Tax Credit?
