When does CMA stop?

My partner has 2 kids with his ex wife, one is 10 and one is 15. He will be 16 in February but I just wanted to know when does he stop paying CMA? Cos the gov website says 16 but isn’t there new rules now about kids having to stay in education until they are 18?
I don’t really understand and would like a clearer picture. His ex wife has a good job and wage and myself and my partner (there dad) are on a joint benefit claim due to ill health. We have the 10 year old every weekend and the 15 year old comes every other weekend. And we have both of them all week on every holiday ( so two weeks Easter, 6weeks summer etc) even though that is not what the court order stated but his ex wife has other plans lol.
Any help on when he stops paying cma?
Thanks

I often use a tablet to post, so sometimes my posts will have random letters inserted, or entirely the wrong word if autocorrect is trying to wind me up. Hopefully you'll still know what I mean.0 -
CM stops at 20 now, unless they are earning0
