Paying Maintenance Whilst Child at University
Comments

yes, this is exactly my point.
he'll then be heard by the court and when they hear the child no longer lives with mother, game over.
she'll have to get a job and pay her own way.
NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.

You missed my point. He did not get time to be "heard by the court". He had a warrant served against him and had to pay his arrears to the court, fast.
If you want to vary a court order, you have to apply to the courts.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.0 -
there's always ways to be heard.
as far as the arrears go, file a N245 and plead poverty.NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.

We absolutely would not just stop paying and wait to see what happens, that's not fair on anyone. We are going to get legal advice BEFORE we do anything
My main arguments are :
1. Why would she be entitled to maintenance if he is no longer living with her
2. She will have no child expenses as we intend to pay ALL his university costs
3. If she still receives maintenance, what the heck is it to pay for?
4. How can we be classed as NRP when he lives with us 50 - 60% of the time & his school records, doctors, dentist, in fact everything shows our address (she has never been to a single parents evening or taken him to a single doctors appointment, or taken him on holiday even though she goes away herself 3-4 times a year)0 -

What is unfair about it when we are going to support him 100% throughout his university time, regardless of how many degrees he takes? We fully intend for him to leave uni with no loan
His mother has said she will contribute £0 to him once he is at uni, no money for food, clothes nothing.
We will always support him 100%0 -

exactly why you are to be commended and her gravy train needs to come to an end. pronto.
no offence, but i'd be stright into court to get this sorted. not wasting time here asking what we think! :T
the sooner you get back to court, the sooner it gets sorted and she can start paying her own way.NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.

We know that we have to pay her until Sept 2010, which is why we are just starting the process now.
We are going to see a solicitor in the New Year for 'advice' regardless.0 -
why wait? if the child isn't benefitting from "child support" then surely it's best to get it sorted asap, so he can start getting what's owed to him, not his gold digging mother.
i'd love to see the look on her face the day the gravy train smashes into the buffers!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:NEVER ARGUE WITH AN IDIOT. THEY'LL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.
