When a child goes to uni they are no longer considered to be dependent on their parents.poppy12345 said:mikejassss said:I think we can stop when the child is 18 years old
Not if the young person is still in full time non advanced education. Lots of young people continue with their education after the age of 18.
I would love to see details of a court case that was successful but I think you'll struggle to find one.
