Kernrechtsfrage
Who is entitled to child allowances in a conflict between the biological mother and the stepfather?
Extrahierter Entscheid
This is an 'other case' under § 7 lit. b KZG; the decisive criterion is custody. Because the children were in the mother's exclusive custody, she is entitled to the allowances.
Extrahierte Begründung
The case is not one of children in the marital household under § 7 lit. a KZG. In a stepfather-versus-mother conflict, the custody principle applies, not automatic priority for the husband. The asserted risk of double payment does not override this allocation and can be managed administratively.
