Child support ending

Options
My husbands son is going to be 18 next month, he finishes education next year. He's been told as he is on CSA 2 that the rules of that scheme mean he stops paying maintenance the September of 2015m he finishes a levels next May but child energies js kay able to the end of Aug/sept of that year.

However it says on the csa website that payments are made until their 20th birthday if in education of a level or equivalent, does that only apply to the new csa claims, or all existing claims??

    Its existing claims as well. So if your step son continues in further education (which includes upto and including Level 3 NVQ and some apprentices) then CM will still be liable.

    PS... Think your autocorrect has played a blinder as I dont understand part of your post!

    I believe if he finishes his a levels then goes to university your liability will finish at the end of August before he goes to university. If he does some sort of apprenticeship scheme as shoe diva says up to and including NVQ Level 3 you will have to continue to pay until he is 20.
