A parent wishing to claim a minor child as a dependent on their tax return must have contributed to more than half of the child's financial needs. Therefore it is not the amount of time but it is the amount of monies spent for the child's welfare (food, clothing, shelter, medical needs, education, etc.) that determines whether or not a deduction can be taken.
In addition it will also depend upon which parent has primary custody and his or her financial status in regards to the child monetary support.
