Congratulations I hope you will be very happy together.

It seems strange though that you haven't thought of all this before getting married? And.... are you suggesting "cheating" the system to get UK taxpayers money? If you can afford the flights back every 8 weeks, then why claim more from the UK government?

Offfffffff maybe you should ignore me, I am an old grouch today !

if you want to get your family allowance paid whilst you are abroad there are certain conditions that have to be met..i know for example that if i go on holiday this is not a valid reason and thus i wouldn't receive any benefits for this period of time..it may be different in your area i'm not sure.also this amount is limited to 8 weeks per year..

Hi there,

I'm new here, but I've been living in Turkey for the past 2 years, yes, married & with residency visa blah-di-blah (which by the way is a whole load of bureacratic trouble to get, going from one goverment office to another, several visits to the police , signing loads of bits of paper etc) but I forgot how much it cost, will ask my hubby later.

I believe you can claim child benifit allowance for a certain length of time while abroad (think it might be 3 months) and then you have to forfeit it...if you're the honest type at least)

Anyway, be nice to chat/exchange notes with some brits in Turkey, I'm surrounded by Turks with just my Hubby and my son and BBC Bleedin Prime to watch (more like BBC Primeval!)

Well...no offence, but I do hope you ARE the honest type. Having worked without a break since leaving college, and reduced to tears when I see my wages slip and how much tax is deducted, I would sincerely hope that once you marry someone from another country and decide to live there you would NOT expect the UK people to pay for your children

No my "kids" are 26 and 28 and support themselves!! And our holidays were only for a week at a time - thought that is what Robyn, the mine of information, was referring to - just a family holiday............ For me, once out of the country and living somewhere else, no family allowance or any other allowance for that matter!! I am with you on that one
