What are the deciding factors when they make a decision about child residency orders? I didn't think he'd go this far in trying to take the children from me, all because I asked for a divorce. He's tried to add the children to his UC claim twice and now he's made a claim for the child benefit so they've stopped my payments. I have a solicitor and also IDAS. I was going to put in an order for me and the children to stay in the house but I can't do that until I've got a child arrangement in place but I can't do that when he's living in the same house! My plan now is to get a residency order and move. But how easy is the process, do I need lots of evidence, will it go against me that I'm not getting the child benefit for them (no one is right now). I'm so scared
