As far as I understand the person with whom the child resides is entitled to it, but can relinquish it to another person. Would she voluntarily give it to you? If she's not using it and the extra money can pay for our child it makes sense for someone to use it

No she must relinquish it. If she's stubborn there is an option. You could tell her you are seeking a variation in maintenance based on the 30euro odd a week you will be down. Worth a crack.
