Do i have to pay child support after age 18 uk.
In the initial consultations with our clients, one of the important questions we cover is ‘what age does Child Maintenance stop?’.
First, there must be an assumption that Child Maintenance is not covered in any spousal agreement; if there is a consideration or clause in a spousal agreement, that would typically take precedence.
Child Maintenance payments cease when the child/ren leave full-time non-advanced education (non-advanced means up to A level or higher, or NVQ and SVQ Level 3 and below).
Courses of degree level and above, Diploma of Higher Education, Higher National Diploma or Higher National Certificate, Diploma of Higher Education or, NVQ and SVQ Level 4 and above, count as advanced education.
The child/ren must attend a course with more than 12 hours of weekly contact time, which includes teaching, supervised study, exams and practical or project work which are part of the course, to be consider as receiving full time education.
The 12 hours minimum does not include meal times or unsupervised study, whether on or off school premise
