Hi Fiona, no things were amicable at the time. So it was just the statement of arrangement for children

When there is no court/Consent Order settling the finances either party can claim against the other in the future even though they are divorced. That means if one of you wins the lottery or comes into an inheritance the other could potentially make a claim, although after six years it''s difficult to prosecute a claim. Therefore it''s advisable to tie up the finances formally with an order dismissing future claims.

As I said above instead of using the child maintenance Service child maintenance could be agreed as part of a legally binding and enforceable Consent Order.
