class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are happy to help you understand how to modify your household composition. We know that changes in family life can be complicated, but we will explain everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New birth: You simply need to register your child with the civil registry office of your municipality. This will automatically update your household composition and Brussels Family will be informed of this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Divorce: Anyone who has left the household (your ex-spouse or yourself) must register their new address with the civil registry office of their municipality. From that moment on, they will no longer be considered part of your household composition and your file will be updated by Brussels Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an additional person comes to live with you, the local police officer will need to verify their presence before your household composition can be updated. Brussels Family will then automatically be informed of this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, if a person leaves your household, you simply need to inform the civil registry office again. If this person provides their new address to the civil registry office, no further formalities are required and your household composition will be automatically updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have any questions about how to modify your household composition, feel free to contact the civil registry office of your municipality. And if you want to know more about social supplements in the context of family allowances, you can find all the information you need on our website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-1133\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-right\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-plus\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>My child is adopted, how does it work?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can submit your application for the adoption allowance once the adoption request has been filed with the court and the child is living with the adoptive parent. If you meet these conditions, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Send us a copy of the <strong>adoption request<\/strong> that you filed with the court. For adopted children from abroad, also send us a copy of the <strong>adoption certificate<\/strong> from the respective country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generally, we automatically verify your eligibility for an adoption allowance. However, submitting an application can speed up this process. Feel free to <a href=\"tel:022271960\">call us<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:info@brusselsfamily.be\">send us an email<\/a> regarding this matter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your eligibility for monthly family allowances is automatically assessed at the same time as your eligibility for the adoption allowance. Therefore, you do not need to send a separate application.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t                        <\/div>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/faq\/\" class=\"button button--border\">\n                <span>\n                    To all frequently asked questions                <\/span>\n            <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1051,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1045","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1045"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3028,"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1045\/revisions\/3028"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.staging.brusselsfamily.springbok.agency\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
