what age does maintenance stop
However, 16 is the minimum age where child maintenance can stop. Between the ages of 16 and 19, if the child is enrolled full-time in school (more than 12 hours per week and the course is up to and including A level), child maintenance for the child must be paid.This does not apply to advanced study, like study at a college or university, this only includes non-advanced study.ou must pay child maintenance for the 11 year old no matter what kind of school she is or isn t in-under no circumstances do you not owe child maintenance for her to the custodial parent. The 16 year old may be a different story.
