The reason it is four years is that she is doing a 12 month work placement which makes the course 4 years.

How could he know in advance that she'd be doing a work placement for a year if he doesn't even know whether or not she's gone to university?

Its possible to now opt for a 'sandwich' year in which the uni obtain a work placement for you, you are guaranteed a placement making the course up to 4 years (and gaining an extra 15 credits in the process I believe). However, I have been given the impression that sandwich years are usually done after the first or second year, NOT at the start of the degree

I think ONW is asking how they managed to inform him she was doing a course with a sandwich placement if they haven't even informed him she is going to uni.

I don't think she was questioning the existance of this type of course.

Maybe the order specified "up to" four years to cover this eventuality, or (perhaps more likely) it was to cover the child if she decided to do a post grad degree. Good forward planning by the Lawyer who drew up the agreement imo.

If the daughter has gone to Uni, the length of the course should be determined as it will also determine the timescale of the payments I assume?

"The Child" how awful for her to see herself referred to as that!

Hmmm,
I find this thread very strange, if the issue is that a loving father is concerned about his daughter's occupations genuinely' then it has nothing to do with the money. If she is living with her mother then the cost to her mother is probably huge! Is anyone thinking of that?

I know, I have three children and the only support any of us got was 1 £25 bag of shopping shortly after he was removed by the police.
This was despite the fact that he has had a considerable amount of money he has never enquired whether, financially, they were ok.
I realise that this is not the young woman's father on here and hope that he would be interested in her results of A levels and welfare for reasons other than finance.
sorry if I offend anyone and of course everyone's context is different

Quite right.

In addition, how would anybody know some time ago that this was the sort of course that they were going to study? This must have been known for some time if it's part of the divorce settlement.

You're missing the point that degree level study is already funded by the state and the daughter will receive money to support herself, whether living at home or away.

I don't know any student that lives completely on their student loan. they all look for subs from their parents. of course I did not have a court order it was called love. should I, once they reach 18 just abandon them?

maybe if she decided that she wanted to live with you then you would realise how expensive it can be to have a young woman of that age living with you.

The vast majority of students living at home manage on their student loan and some part time work. In this case the young woman will be receiving maintenance, pocket money and her mobile bills paid as well.

Obviously the OP's husband has to abide by the agreement but it seems a bit unfair that he should have to pay the same amount of money for her when she's receiving £3,000-£6,000 funding, as he did when she received nothing in 6th form.
