Is my ex allowed to pay our daughter directly?
December 3, 2013
My 18 year old daughter has just started university and is living in halls. My ex husband has a court order to pay me £350 per month. He has now decided to pay the money directly to her. Is this allowed and if not what should I do to have the court order enforced?
Sincerely
Sharon Hanks

no he not but he should it her money not urs it should go to her just let him do so CHILD SUPPORT its in the name
He doesn’t have to pay now as child benefit will have stopped and uni isn’t in the system a CSA payable so to speak
& if she not living at home then he don’t need to pay less their back pay for miss payments .
He doesn’t have to pay csa anymore! You should inform CSA that she is in Uni and that child benefit is no longer being paid.
You can’t claim CHB if a child is in university.
Do you not think that at 18 she has the right to receive money from her dad directly?
she only get what she od if he missed a payment or to . that all she well get till payed of but tbh if their is money till od i think he should be sending to his child so the child can send it on what she want & needs still
Unbelievable that you’re seeking to have order enforced!! She’s 18 and at University so therefore Child Support , by CSA rules., stops!!
If he still feels he wants to pay surely it should go direct to the child… mines stopped for both as my
youngest has just hit 18.. personally I
want sod all off my ex
and I only got 10 a fortnight and I support myself and kids by working not on benefits
I never had any help… Yet hubbys ex screwed the system so she could screw us… fraud now being investigated and i hope she gets hit with it!
Waste of space some “Fathers” are.. I never got a bean… done it all without his help!
Well the money is ment for your child who if she’s in university halls is no longer living with you…. So why would you need it is ment for her. But you having a problem with it tells everyone who you really are and where her money has really been going.
It’s your daughter’s money. He’s just making sure she gets it and it’s spent on what she wants/needs, and it’s not going into someone’s pocket who would spend it on themselves.
I hope your not still taking this money, your not now entitled to it,
6. Changes you need to report
There are some changes you must tell the statutory child maintenance services about by law. Depending on which service manages your case, contact the Child Support Agency (CSA) or Child Maintenance Service.
What you have to report depends on whether you’re the parent or person the child lives with (the ‘receiving parent’) or the parent the child doesn’t live with (the ‘paying parent’).
If you’re the receiving parent
You must tell the service managing your case if there’s a change to:
the number of children living with you that you get child maintenance for
the number of nights a child regularly stays overnight with the paying parent
the number of children that you or your partner get Child Benefit for
You must also tell the service if:
a child you get child maintenance for leaves full-time education (below A-level)
you or any of the children you get child maintenance for no longer live in the UK
you find out that the paying parent is coming off benefits
you’re moving house or know that the other parent is
your phone number (including mobile number) changes
If you don’t give the Child Maintenance Service or CSA the right information
You could be taken to court and fined up to £1,000 if you:
don’t give the service managing your case the information it needs
give the service information that you know is false
This applies to any person or organisation who, by law, must give the Child Maintenance Service or CSA information, eg:
employers
accountants
either parent
You will end up paying the money back to him, the court order expires when your child no longer lives with you
Y would u want the money if ur daughter no longer lives with u???good in him still wanting to directly support his daughter….not her mother!!!
I find it laughable that you are seriously asking this question. That money is rightly your daughters, so why should he not give it to her directly. Or is it you never spent the money on your daughter and used it to fund yourself. Why the hell should he still pay it to you when your daughter is now living elsewhere.
Least he knows the money is going to her !!!!!!!
OMG you greedy skank ….
Why would you want the court order enforced? He’s going beyond his financial duties and giving his daughter money to use for herself whilst she is living away from home.
Now your daughter is in university child benefit etc ceases to be paid.
Be pleased that your ex is still contributing to her needs which your very lucky that he is.
You sound very hard done by, angry perhaps that you no longer have control….good on your ex!
The child support money is NOT your money. It is for the child. And now that the child is 18, as with Child Benefit, they are entitled to have it paid to them directly.
However, this is only if the child is in non – advanced education up to the age of 20. Non – advanced education is college, 6th form….Uni is actually advanced education. Your daughter is free to accept any payments or contributions either parent wishes to make, just as any of us are, 18 is considered an adult in law.
There is NO legal requirement that child maintenance has to be paid for your daughter if she is 18 and at Uni. The CSA need to be informed, and the case closed!!
I wonder, now that your daughter is no longer living with you, are you going to contribute financially to her while she is at Uni?? Or are you leaving all that to her father??
Yes Sharon.. Go to court and make yourself look even more of a twat..
Good for him to keep on paying and supporting her through uni ! Why would you need the money if she’s not living at home ? Talk about taking the very last drop of p*ss !
