Separated parents with 2 dependants. Can each parent make a claim for an eligible dependent?

I have seen similar threads but couldn't find the answer for this question

Separated parents with 2 dependants.  Can each parent make a claim for an eligible dependent?
 
My clients have separated Feb 2023.  They have 2 children.   Can each parent make a claim for an eligible dependent.  As a bit of background, They share custody 50/50, there are no support payments made from either end, and there is no written agreement (they have not got that far yet)
 All the research that I have found is that separated parents can claim one child, and they can alternate this  claim for future tax years 
 Any feedback on this subject would be appreciated
