Child Maintenance

Options
My daughter is 18 and has just finished her A levels and has left college.

When would I stop my child maintenance payments? I’ve read that’s university doesn’t count as full time education and that I can stop payments on 31st August?

    Scotland or England ?

    Scotland you are supposed to keep paying if in uni.

    Rule of thumb in England if the Child benefit stops the so does the maintenance.
