I receive maintenence for my boy of the same age, if they are in full time education you must pay until they leave or reach 19yrs of age. If he isnt attending college regular then he wont get the full £30 a week funding from his EMA they only get it if they have done a full week. But you are responsible for him until he reaches 19 or leaves full time education.

Hey Well child maintenance is paid to provide for baby things, and if he is offering to take you shopping to buy all the baby things you need each week i would accept that, afterall the money isn't for you its for your baby and your baby can't spend it, I think he is actually being really reasonable offering to do that. No his maintenance wont come out of your benefit but you wont get as much maybe £400 a month, considering some people have court orders to pay £10 a week. Nappies milk clothes wipes bottles etc cost alot each week and if he is offering to do that and you not have to, he is saving you alot of money and giving baby everything it needs. If it went to court and he said he is doing that, the court would rule in his favour as long as he kept that up. I thought I would add - Before ANY of my answer counts, if he isn't reliable and you know he might let you down then definatley file for CSA, he'll have to pay you between £50-£70 a week which would cover all the necessities, but atleast it's definate then, I misread first time round and I assumed he definatley would take you shopping, reading another answer Its a valid point to say if he isnt going to keep to the agreement just take the money from CSA xx

I think you need to speak with a lawyer. But here in the USA I will say as long as the child is in school you pay. I have myself been there. And guess what, the law doesn't say in school full time. It says if the kid continues with college you pay. BUT if the kid stops going to college you don't have to pay anymore. BUT I would wait until I have the court order in hand before I quit paying. If the order already says that payments stop on the child finishing or stops going to college then you can legally stop. Good Luck.

If your son left education at 16 then you can stop paying maintenance. But if is still under 18 and in education (attending regularly or not) you are LEGALLY obligied to continue paying maintenance until the day after his 18th birthday.

If he is still under 18 then yes, I should think so. If he is only earning £30 a week that's not going to get him far, so I presume his mother is still supporting him, and therefore I think yes you should be paying child maintenance.

You have to pay until the child is 18 in the Uk.

You will have to file papers with the authority stating the child is emancipated. Contact your child support enforcement agent.
