It depends. It doesn't specifically say who will receive the payments but it is my best guess that whoever claimed the credits in 2020 will receive the advanced payments of the Child Tax credit in 2021. It's based off of the 2020 tax return. Here is a Dept of Treasury fact sheet that explains more about the advance payment.
