Hello Keith67

You would need to follow the guidelines set out within your Court Order. You may wish to seek legal advice as to where you stand regarding your situation, Civil Legal Advice is a free and confidential advice service paid for by legal aid. Our contact centre provides independent advice about debt, education, Discrimination, housing, family and welfare benefits to people who live on a low income or benefits. www.justice.gov.uk/legal-aid. Alternatively, you may wish to speak to your solicitor.

Under child support legislation, regular child maintenance payments must be made until a child is 16 years old, or 20 if they are in full-time, non-advanced education (A-level or equivalent), or for as long as Child Benefit is being paid.

When a child leaves full-time education in the summer, Child Benefit generally continues until the first week of September. For further information and list of course that are classed as advanced education, you can visit the following link www.gov.uk/when-child-maintenance-payments-stop.

For more information on the different ways to set up child maintenance, you can visit the Child Maintenance Options website at www.cmoptions.org.
