Do I have to keep paying if our son no longer lives at home?

My son (16)lives with his father and I pay maintainance. He is leaving home soon and moving to a different city to attend a course and living with his girlfreind.

His dad has agreed to give him the child benefit so that he can continue to claim it. Does this mean that I will still need to pay him maintainance even though he won’t be living there any more?

I know his dad won’t pass it on to my son.

Thanks.

  1. It’s fraud to carry on claiming child benefit if the child is not residing in the claimants household. And when child benefit stops, CSA stops

  2. Hi, thanks,
    His dad has said he would give the child benefit money to him as a contribution to his upkeep. That way he can continue to claim child benefit legally and I need to continue paying him csa money.
