Hello, I was married to a Norwegian man (divorce papers actually still in process). I have custody of our 14 year old daughter. Her father has recently moved back to Norway, does not have a job yet and is applying for benefits as he gets settled. I cover all my daughter's expenses (and have for over two years) and would like to know if there is a possibility of receiving child benefits - through the father I suppose, or directly. I understand that it must depend on the particular circumstances of each case, but would like to know if this is even a possibility. Thanks very much for any information.
