Hi there yes you will not have a problem claiming for your child as long as one of you is a British National then there will be no problem as your child will be british also hope this helps...

As others have said Patrick, you can claim Child Benefit in your name.
You may also be eligible to claim working tax credits and child tax credits. But again be sure you are the named claiment.
