   My partners daughter is nearly 17 and left full time education in June this year. She is not enrolling for any college/6th forms and does not have a job, so basically doesn't do anything...at all.
   The CSA have told him he has to pay Child Support until 2013 unless she gets a job! So basically she can sit around doing nothing until she's nearly 19, while her dad pays for her to do it... is this correct? I thought the child has to be in full time education for CM to continue.
   Advice needed... thanks.

   I personally think you may need to question this.

   She is not at college or studying for more than 12 hours a week therefore capable of working as she is not in what the goverment class as full time education.
   The age of when the child is fully capapble of supporting themselves is 16 and I had read this myself on the CSA notes as my daughter is 17 and in full time education therfore I will need to pay until she is 19. You need to get this looked into!

   Don't forget if you dont like what one person tells you on the phone, call back again and speak to someone else as you will no doubt be told something different!

   I just found this on Direct Gov site so it's official:

   You must tell us if any of the following chnage If you are a parent or person with care

   If you’re a parent or person with care, you must tell the CSA if there is a change to:

   •the children you get child maintenance for leave full time non-advanced education
   •you or any of the children you get child maintenance for are no longer ‘habitually resident’ in the UK

   A parent or person with care is the parent or carer who the child normally lives with. ‘Habitually resident’ means where you usually live.

   I hope this helps :-)
