Hi
my daughter and her Mother are moving to a EU country.
CMS as usual is taking their word claiming they are still receiving Child Benefit and not crossing information (I.e. checking if child is indeed at any school within UK…) and therefore will not close the case.
Therefore how may you prove inegibility for Child Benefit for example if the child has moved abroad?
hi,
please see info: https://www.gov.uk/child-benefit-abroad
there are details there for reporting changes
@bill337
doesn’t really answer my question as I am the paying parent and the receiving parent hasn’t reported the move .
what can I as paying parent do to report this as the child is already studying abroad?
@maka I believe that the maintenance would still be payable even though they are in a different country, and assuming the country has a reciprocal arrangement (I assume all EU countries will), then the CMS would still enforce this, so the moe abroad wouldn't affect the maintenance.
@actd but moving abroad wouldn’t affect child benefit (for which CMS is bonded by)?
@maka try this
https://www.gov.uk/child-maintenance-if-one-parent-lives-abroad/other-partner-lives-abroad
I would say that it might be worth emailing the maintenance enforcement business centre (mentioned in the above link) as they'd be able to confirm what they would enforce and what they wouldn't.
