It's part of our social welfare system for the welfare of children whose parents qualify for the payment.Why should it cost the Irish taxpayer for the upkeep of their children and failed marriage.
They're not Irish born children and didn't live here as far as I know.It's part of our social welfare system for the welfare of children whose parents qualify for the payment.
Marriage status is irrelevant to Child Benefit.
The qualification criteria are outlined here.
Child Benefit
Child Benefit is a monthly payment to all parents or guardians of children under 16, or under 19 if the child is in full-time education or has a disability.www.citizensinformation.ie
The father seems to be living in Ireland in which case they may qualify for CB.They're not Irish born children and didn't live here as far as I know.
Charming.Why should it cost the Irish taxpayer for the upkeep of their children and failed marriage.
From the posts so far, it doesn't appear that they have any link with Ireland beside the father absconding here. Surely it would be the UK who would be paying any benefits, seeing as the father and the children are British? Ireland's involvement in this is minimal.Charming.
Our SW system is designed to support families without regard to the marital status of their parents.
I'm not sure what you believe the OP's former husband has 'absconded' from in the UK; there is free movement still between the UK and Ireland. So I would take it that he as the right to live here.From the posts so far, it doesn't appear that they have any link with Ireland beside the father absconding here.

Then when they catch up with him, will he emigrate again to another country and they can claim more benefits? It happens you know, and not always for the benefit of the children. No, i'm not a racist or anti family, but sick and tired of Irish taxpayers paying benefits to people who see the system as a soft touch.I'm not sure what you believe the OP's former husband has 'absconded' from in the UK; there is free movement still between the UK and Ireland.

If the other parent is resident in Ireland (and the OP can check this out), Child benefit can be paid to the OP.
We are not in a position, based on the provided information, to make a judgement of that nature. SW systems and / or the abuse of them is not the issue here.Then when they catch up with him, will he emigrate again to another country and they can claim more benefits?

Methinks the poster doth protest too much...No, i'm not a racist or anti family
I meant from his family, not the law.I'm not sure what you believe the OP's former husband has 'absconded' from in the UK; there is free movement still between the UK and Ireland. So I would take it that he as the right to live here.

As far as Child Benefit goes, it's residency that matters, not tax payments.I believe he already has paid some taxes in Ireland when he bought the property in Dublin and he brought 300k euros of his cash to the country for that. He also pays VAT each time he buys some goods in Ireland from his cash earned in the UK
Given what you say in your first post about him keeping you out of his finances I'm curious about how you know all this?I believe he already has paid some taxes in Ireland when he bought the property in Dublin and he brought 300k euros of his cash to the country for that. He also pays VAT each time he buys some goods in Ireland from his cash earned in the UK.
If you're entitled to it (e.g. Child Benefit) then go for it. As mentioned by somebody else earlier, if you're not entitled here then you may be entitled in the UK or another EU country if applicable.I guess it is OK for us to claim a bit of money? if we are eligible
Why should it cost the Irish taxpayer for the upkeep of their children and failed marriage.
Just to clarify - they do not have to be working.Anyone living and working in Ireland is entitled to claim child benefit for their children, even if they live in a different EU country. You might not like it, but that's your issue to deal with.
To qualify for Child Benefit, you must be living in Ireland and satisfy the Habitual Residence Condition (HRC).
I presume that this refers to some Ukrainian welfare payment?I found out that I can apply for a small Child Benefit for my youngest as they stop paying that after child is 3 y.o.
yes, UkrainianI presume that this refers to some Ukrainian welfare payment?
