How old do my children have to be before I stop paying the CSA?
my children are now 17 and 18 years old i never see them i have been paying
through a court order out of my wages monthly how much longer do i have to pay
this they are not in full time education so ive heard is this right i never recive a statement from csa what is going on
hi if a child has turned 16nearly 17 and is in college but not full time and receives ema from college does the absent parent still have to pay csa and if so at what age is the cut off point
My 17 year old son is at college part time and also has a part time job in a restaurant – I have been paying for the last three years and just wondered at what age do the payments stop?
my son is 17 in april , and at college, i have paid my csa for the last 8 yrs , what age will the payments stop?
My daughter is 16 years old and on a part time college course (24 hours per week). Does a college course count as ‘higher education’ or ‘full time education’? Also, legally, when can I stop paying maintenance to my ex-wife? Many thanks.
Child approaching 18 in August, taking University degree at a local college in September is she still entitled to received CSA as she is not in full time schooling and is also working part time.
my stepdaughter is 18 only does 4hrs at college so i have to pay support but she also works and is self employed !! but because she is still college i still hav to pay !!!!
The QC must be in full time,non advanced education and must attend a recognised educational establishment(such as school or collage).
Full time-considered to be 12 hours .A child attending University is not a QC.
CS remains payable until the terminal date ,which is a period after a child has left education.A leaver still counts as a child for CS upto the Sunday following the date unless she is 19 before that date,in which case it is the Sunday following the Monday before their 19th birthday. Termination Dates
Time of leaving school Terminal date
Christmas First monday in January
Easter First monday after Easter Monday
May/June First monday in September
If a child does paid work of more that 24 hours or more per week BEFORE the terminal date,so long as that work is temporary and expected to end before the terminal date-the child is still a QC.(NACSA SURVIVAL GUIDE)
so they are still a child at 16 , thats a joke, so they can go to college at 16 for 2 days a week and go to work for 2 days a week and i still have to pay support for the next 3 years ……………………that seems so fair for the non resident parent
I have two 18 yo children who I have never met, one has a place at uni full time, the other has a college place ( unsure of the hours of study) both work part time, when do I stop paying for them?
Hi Please can you tell me if my child continues to get CSA when he goes to full time college later this year?

He is 18 in December
What does awaiting moderation mean
When do you stop paying maintenance
Can you tell me if I still have to pay maintenance, my son is 17 and is starting college only 8 hours a week, and working 16 hours a week. The reason for only 8 a week at college is that he is going to ‘re-sit his maths and English gcse so he can study a course at college that he wants to do. Moral of the story is do I pay if he’s only going to college for 8 hours?
Hi, I have a private arrangement and my oldest is 17 soon and going to college part time and witha job, I wanted to pay the money direct to my daughter instead, only because I feel she is now at an age to make decisions herself and learn to manage money, I know that between me and my X but I wasn’t sure as to what age I paid maintenance upto? If at college what does it mean and with a job what impact does that have so that am informed before indiscuss this possibility with her so I can do it right! Thanks
My child is 19 in Feb 2018 do I have to still pay maintenance please he’s at college
My child I’d 17 but refuses to see me, do I still have to make payments?
My son is apparently at college I can’t confirm this as we have no contact. We met at a mutual friends home accidentally as he’s friends with my friends kids, which I didn’t know till then as we have different surnames. He told me he works as a waiter I’m unsure of hours worked. He turns 18 in April. When do I finish paying cms. Have been paying for the past 17 years. Just want my life back.
