Can I claim child benifit in my name ? Yes, child benefit in your name. If you claim child tax credits it MUST be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse.

And it will effect on my wife and childern application or not. No it won't

If possible Can you please link any rules and regulations guide or information regarding child benifit.

Many Thanks

If YOU claim it will NOT affect your spouse's visa or your child's citizenship application.
