Under CMEC it's

Child
For child maintenance
purposes, a child is either:

under 16,

or

under 19 and still in full-time

education up to A-level
(or equivalent).

Good point

So maybe what Shell has read has been for CSA rules as oppose to CMEC


So in the case of the OP - and actually another thread by an NRP (who name escapes me), then there can be no CS payable as the child is not in full time education.

That's why I was hoping someone might just give them a call and clear it up for us :rotfl:

A textphone is nothing to do with mobile SMS media, it is a phone product to assist those with hearing difficulties. as those at the RNID will tell you.

Which is why I offered the alternative to the OP, as she had commented that she couldn't use a regular phone due to being deaf. Thanks DUTR, but I do know what a textphone is. I've used them before in my job some years ago.

Twas you Rare...my apologies for not remembering your name:o

This scenario used to be very clear cut and now it seems to be a very grey area (I know, it's a first for the CSA eh?!!) which is why I would personally get it in writing what their decision is and should it come back to bite you on the bum, then you have the proof.

As you were, I had missed the Op's 2nd post

What is this 'child support' that you keep referring to? How does one go about securing such support for the fruits of their loins;):D:rotfl::rotfl:
