Is child support still paid if there is a protected trust deed?

Hi all,

apologies if this has been asked and answered before, i searched the threads but couldn't find anything.
My partners ex has entered a protected trust deed instead of sequestration (scotland). I can't seem to find anywhere whether he will still have to pay child support or not. CSA seem to be saying that all his debts up to the date of signature will be wiped but surely he can't get away with not paying child support at all!? He has racked up over £2000 in arrears now. I've been searching the web for days for the answer to this, i'm hoping someone here will put an end to our misery over this.

Thanks

    Sequestration is just the Scottish word for bankruptcy so therefore his debts are NOT included in the PTR and so therefore they will still stand.

    Not sure about protected trust dead but sequestration does have an effect on arrears unlike bankruptcy
