Child maintenance to 18 year old

Is it legally possible to pay child maintenance direct to an 18 year old going to university, rather than to their mother?

If going away to uni then I think at 18 it should go direct to the child. They can then make an arrangement with Mum to pay keep (if necessary) out of that when home. Quite old enough to be managing money in that way.
