Child working full time

My child is 16 and at the moment working 38hrs a week during the school holidays, I assume she intends to go back to college/sixth form when the new term starts

They are earning £150 a week at the moment

Where does child benefit/child maintenance stand on this?

    The child benefit website says that CB (and therefore CM) stops if the child starts working 24 hours a week AND leaves approved education.

    Your child must stay in education until they are 18 now so CB will almost certainly continue. Therefore CM will continue to be due.

    Thats why I said 'almost certainly' instead of definitely.
