Child Maintenance Payments when 1 child turns 18

I pay child maintenance for two children, one is due to turn 18 and I know the payment doesnt halve, but does anyone know what percentage I should pay for the remaining child?

    Reaching 18 doesn't end child maintenance payments. If that young person is still in full time non advanced education then you continue to pay the maintenance.
