My 17 year old son has decided he wants to move out of his mothers and come live with me.I know she claims child benefit and child tax credit,how do i go about changing them so i can claim instead of her?I asked why he wanted out and said his brother(not mine)has started doing drugs and stealing his belongings to sell to feed his habit.Any help would be good has i dont know where to start.

First off I assume he's still in education - if not you won't get any.
You need to get the mother to drop the claim, if she refuses tell her you'll report her for fraud, as you must notify HMRC if a child moves out.
Then look on the HMRC site http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/index.htm for info about claiming.0 -
Yes hes still in education doing 3 days at college.Thanks for the link.0
