Tertiary Education?

When does an order become out of time?

I was just about to ask that. :o)

Hello Gene

If the order states end of secondary education even with the various exceptions by the time they are 19 it ends so at this point the order is out of time,this is when the child can make application to court for support if they intend to continue their education at uni.

In theory its a good idea in practice children are reticent to take a parent to court so in reality its not common.

Dukey,

So in theory the order will stop when 'child' reaches the age of 19 anyway regardless of the tertiary education clause?

Sorry Gene im not explaining this very well

Secondary and tertiary are distinctly different.

Secondary ends at 19 for most sooner.

Tertiary ends when full time education ends so in theory you could do a first degree and follow on to a PHD and providing its seamless the child could mid to late twenty's.


So if the order states it ends at secondary it ends when they leave school.

If it states tertiary it ends when they leave uni.

If it states tertiary it should state the end of the first degree if not the arguing starts.

If it states it ends at secondary but the child intends to go to uni the child can make their own application once they are 18 and have left secondary education.

Does that make a bit more sense?.

Ah yes that make sense thanks....and I guess the NRP could get a variation on the order at any time if circumstances change as it seems non-logical that an order for CM can be made long term...I believe that after 1year It could be varied to CSA rules?

Can you help me please.
My Consent Order states

Haway you shall keep paying the Harridan £5000 a year tax free holiday fund until the children finish their education.
Remember as life is an education and we learn something new every day that will probably be forever,until they finally move out.
By which time you may be able to have a holiday yourself......but on the bright side by then you'll be able to get some cracking deals off of SAGA holidays with free motorised wheelchair hire.

Do you think I should have got Signor El Tel to word my consent order more carefully???

All the best
Pete

If the CM is contained in the consent order then yes after one year either can ask the CSA to take over (there are exceptions) once a child is 18 court take over again,bonkers aint it

If the payer can no longer afford to pay they can apply to whoever has jurisdiction to vary the amount being paid due to the change in circumstances.
