I have been living common law with my bf for almost 3 years, and we have had at least 80% custody since the beginning.
The ex has been collecting and happily cashing the CCTB each month, and spending it on everything BUT the kids.
When we went down to the CRA in person, (more than once), he has been told that his ex needs to sign a mutual form in order to have the CCTB switched over to come to us.
Mind you, given our collective income, we may not even be eligable for it, but that is not the point.
She has also been claiming the kids as dependants on her tax return.
Unfortunately she has been unwilling to sign any custody agreement, I'm guessing because she is afraid of the child support that will follow.
A judge has told her she needs to get a lawyer in order for us to proceed with a custody hearing, due to several complications with our case. (mainly lies and BS she keeps feeding in an attempt to prolong this). She has refused to see a lawyer and the situation has gone no where.
I am disgusted that the CRA doesn't even care that someone is scamming them.
It feels like they have a bias towards women, whom they clearly favor. Giving them the primary residance of the children isn't enough for them, they need HER signature. good luck.
