Legal Advice on Child Benefit and Parental Rights


Questioner

My children, aged one and two, live with me and are under OTS. My ex has the children 1 day every 2 weeks (including sleeping) That is built up to a whole weekend. He is in debt restructuring, Yesterday he asked the family guardian at youth care how things were with money for things for the children because he does not receive any extra money from his administrator for the children. I indicated that I wanted to give it to him. The family guardian suggested that a child be registered with him so that he also receives money. This is not allowed, is it? They are there one day every 2 weeks. Isn't this fraud???

Lawyer

The custodial parent is entitled to child benefit. In principle, this is the parent with whom the children live (most of the time). This parent will usually also contribute the most to the costs of the children. The parents can make another agreement by mutual agreement. That must then be arranged with the SVB. However, I wonder whether this is wise? Does he use the child benefit for the children, the debts or for himself? It is then also better to collect the child benefit yourself. If necessary, you then pay part of the costs when the children are with him. You then remain in control and know what happens to the money.
