I split with my wife about two years ago and we have two boys together. We have shared custody of the boys, and it is very 50/50. One week I have them 3 nights, the next 4. I feed them half the time, they have their own clothes with me and the same at their mums. She currently receives the child benefit and tax credits for both kids. I have asked that she gives up the claim for one of the boys so that I can claim, and at the moment she is refusing. I know I can still submit a child benefit and tax credit claim, and they would make a decision about who is entitled to claim the benefits.
Has anyone had any experience of going through that, and what sort of questions they ask to help them come to a decision?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
