Can the boarding school become my primary residence and I still receive my child benefit?
Hey everyone,
I'm 17 years old and will soon be 18. I have one big worry: my child benefit. I spend more than half the year at boarding school and when I'm home on weekends or holidays I alternate between staying with my father and my mother. My main residence, however, is with my mother, who also receives child benefit. I don't get any pocket money from her and I don't see a cent of my child benefit. Maybe I have canned food for dinner now and then, but otherwise it's mess and my health suffers. I pay for my own clothes and hygiene with the 5 euros a week pocket money from my father… including dental care, body care, shower products and detergent for the laundry… And of course some of the money can go towards the rent, but where is the rest of my money invested? My mother spends my child benefit and my father's maintenance on herself. Since I moved to boarding school, however, I get a third of the maintenance money and my father puts the rest in his savings account. Since I'm hardly ever at home, my mother doesn't need the money.
I'd like to receive my child benefit myself starting on my 18th birthday and put it aside. I think if I don't touch the money until I graduate, I'll have a good reserve for rainy days when I have a place to live.
But I found out that even though I'm turning 18, the money will still go to the person I live with (I'll call next week and get advice on this!), and that would be my mother. And I don't want her touching MY money. So, since I'll be at boarding school longer, I'm wondering if I can register it as my primary residence. Then I'll officially be considered to have moved out of my parents' home, even if I still live with them.
Is it possible for me to register the boarding school as my primary residence so I can receive child benefit? As I said, I'll find out whether there are alternatives and whether there are different rules for children of divorce and will make a phone call next week.

It is so that as long as you are under 25 years of training and withdraw during this period, child allowance will continue to be paid to your mother. There is, however, a loophole. If you officially move to your father with 18 and pay at least 512.00 euros per quarter, he gets the child’s money.
I know. But if my first home is the boarding school, then I felt like being out of the parents. I’m rarely in my mother’s household and in the Internat Koche, wash and take care of myself. We live there like a Wg and get only food and meals and of course there are nurses. There are two factors: I am then officially no longer in the parents’ house (with my parents also as a guest) and take care of myself. That’s the prerogatives when you get your own money right?
Who pays the boarding costs?
Why is that? At the age of 18, you are able to do business and parents no longer have to manage the money. Parents get the money they owe to their children, but managed for them! At 18 I should have the right to certain things that happen to my child money, or rather who manages it for me: myself or my parents.
I used to go the definition of the main residence: “a place where you can stay more than half the year” according to homeday. I think it’s a problem. I really liked the parents when I changed my headquarters
I have cost-beneficiaries who manage my stay.
No! The stay and the registered residence are each determined by the guardians.
Only the imprisonment by whipping with sugar cane is also prohibited against international arches.
Not quite. I have the sole right of residence. I’m allowed to determine where I’m going.
