If you are the custodial parent ( the one lives with the child mostly in the year), you do not need to file Form 8332.

If you are the noncustodial parent ( the one lives with the child the least in the year), and the custodial parent agrees to release the exemption right for you to claim the child as your dependent, then you will have to file this form along with your tax return.
