Is CSA still payable?

So it's fact that because the child is doing a degree at uni starting in september child support stops?

That is when CM is stopped, and as CSA is lined to a claim for CM when that stops CSA stops...!

I'm always curious as to why there are questions about how quickly people can stop paying for their children. They're you're children, what the law says you should do is one thing, what you SHOULD be doing, is helping to support them until they are able to support themselves.

Are you? Well let me enlighten you. My oh paid religiously for years, as well as extras, but that still wasn't enough for the ex, I'll not bore you with the minutia of day to day "living" for us, suffice to say we had no life and at one point were almost homeless! Oh was threatened with contact blocking if he didn't stump up more and more. The day we got the CSA letter saying that liability was at an end, was almost the happiest day of our lives!!:T

This is it in a very small nut shell, I'd be here for days and it would read like fiction if I every wrote it all down, I didn't know women like her existed!!!:eek: Anyway, last year we shelled out just over £1000 for oh's daughter to get her own flat - voluntarily and happily - which we couldn't have done if that [STRIKE]ex[/STRIKE] parasite was still getting the money! Over the years we have spent 1000's for oh kids and my kids, with no problem at all. I think most of us don't mind in the least helping our kids, what I don't like is supporting a PWC in a lifestyle she thinks she's entitled to without lifting a finger herself!!

Hope that goes some way to clarifying the situation for you, and perhaps in future you might like to get the full SP before being so judgmental!!

It is higher education and YES it will be stopped.

And that is because the CM stops when higher education takes place as it is expected for the child to support itself through student loans...!

There are a few, and i do mean a few, where a PWC could take a NRP to court for maintenance to continue, but it is extremely rare, and only in certain circumstances, like the child needs special care for various reasons... So very unlikely to be awarded should it happen...

So being that child support would cease on the 1st monday after the 1st Sept, your last payment would or should be the 3rd of september... CSA is paid in arrears.... That is why you make one last payment after...

Is that a better explanation...?

Because "How long am I allowed to keep paying to support an adult for?" would be a strange question to ask.

A lot of people prefer to support their adult offspring (children seems the wrong term) directly and voluntarily rather than to their ex partner and as directed by law.

Equally I would help my parents out if I was able and needed help but I wouldn't expect to HAVE to because the law directed it.

I know how you feel,too long to go into,we can't wait to stop paying a millionaire who lives in a 7 bed mansion,owns at least 6 cars,has homes abroad and over in the uk,pays the child cash in hand for working for them so we cannot say they are self supporting.A person who used the CSA for there own gratification and to try and break us,not for necessity just out of pure hatred and spite.We will still help the child when we can but they don't need it really as all the money paid is sitting in a bank untouched but they won't give it to the child.Roll on September

How do we inform and prove to the CSA that the child has progressed to doing a degree at uni because a while ago the child was thrown out of the home for over a year(back living there now) and the CSA didn't believe us because child benefit was still being claimed so we still had to pay while the child was living elsewhere.

skibadee

Are you in contact with the child? if so ask them for proof of this which you could forward to the CSA.
Or....bit of a long shot...but one we've just had to do...contact the CSA yourself informing them....in our case they contacted the PWC ...who eventually confirmed QC was no-longer in education.....this was after CSA informed PWC they could be claiming CB frauduently.

ankspon

The child is too scared to provide proof,they dare not prove they got thrown out before.We informed the CSA that child benefit was being fraudulently claimed but they did nothing.This is what is worrying me,proving it.

I am confused by this as I was told it stopped on the 19th birthday....
