                    Can I claim the child element of UC if the children will be living with me 50% of the time? Currently living with STBX and want to move into rental and have the kids 50% off the time. 
STBX won't be needing to apply for UC as they are on a good wage. I'm working part time. They are not willing to move out but that's a different story.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

            Who gets Child Benefit? While that's not the ultimate deciding factor, it's a good starting point. Read through the following to see if it helps determine whether you can claim the child element of UC.
