Legal advice on child-related budget

Questioner

My ex has applied for child-related budget via my digidi since 2016 and put it on his own account. Found out because I got a tax assessment. What to do?

Lawyer

If the child lives with you, you are entitled to this budget. The tax authorities can check where the child is registered, but in any case you are entitled if it is with you. The allowance may also be higher. Can you not apply for it after all?

Questioner

No, they come to me occasionally, but he always did the tax return, I never asked for it, I have now also changed my DigiDi code following your advice.

Lawyer

Then your partner is entitled to the allowances.
