Who receives family benefits for a child in alternate care?
Verified 18 February 2021 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)
What applies to you ?
Family allowances are paid differently depending on whether or not the parents agree with the beneficiary or beneficiaries.
Agreement
In case of alternate residence of your children, you have the choice.
You can designate the parent who will be the beneficiary of all family benefits.
You can also choose to share the family allowances and designate 1 single beneficiary (you or the other parent) for other family benefits.
Your children are in alternate residence if they effectively reside alternately in the home of each of the parents in one of the following situations:
- By decision of the family court judge
- In case of declaration by the 2 parents
- In the case of a declaration by one parent not contested by the other
