Jennifer Levey
: "la personne qui peut prétendre à l'allocation" is more likely to be the mother, who will not necessarily be the household head.

chef de famille de l'enfant, est-ce incomprehensible ?
|
|
disagree |
writeaway
: way of the mark. Asker should have posted du chef de -that's the expression/it's part of a French expression: du chef de. Not as in chef de famille

le chef d'un enfant, n'est ce pas son chef de famille, un titre qui peut etre biologique ou non ?

: Le "chef" n'est pas une personne ici!
