payments are usually made until the child finishes their education.

it stops on their 19th birthday, and if they are 19 in seoptember or early in the college year, you need to prapare for5 that, as any child benefit or maintenance could stop whilst they are still in college for thier final year, and that is not easy to cope with.

IT stops in the September AFTER their 19th birthday so, if your child is 19 in Sept and I am almost certain it doesn't stop until the following September so that you get any maintenance etc until they do actually leave school - you will need to double check.

So your kid turns out to be bright enough and well adjusted enough to further his/her education at college, and what is your first thought?My god, how can I get out of paying more money!?
Great parenting.

And jumping right in with both feet stuck firmly in your mouth once again Mamjet, you have assumed this is the absent parent.
However, I agree with you on this subject, just this time though - I won't make a habit of it lol

Question Author
Thanks for the serious answers to a serious question, does the money go to the child or continue to the parent, and how much is the norm ? given the child will recieve �30.00 for attending college.
As for the agony aunts go back to your perfect, perfect world I`m not interested in your opinions.

Ah, so you are the absent parent... don't worry I'm sure your child is dying to get rid of you as much as you are with him/her.

OP's always become abusive when they do not receive the reply they want. Be more specific if you want a back rub with TLC. It's not often, if ever, I agree with Mamjet, but this time I think he has a point (or she, I don't know)
As for who the money goes to - you pay support for everything your child needs and that includes a roof over their head, which of course the resident parent pays for, food, clothes, school clothes, toys, books, loo roll, washing machines, cookers - the list is endless. Support goes into the household pot and does not become the childs money because that child lives within that household who all use the pot.
It infuriates the hell out of me when the absent parent comes on here spouting off about the resident parent spending 'their child's' money. It doesn't matter what it is spent on (well drink, drugs etc is not on of course) as the resident parent gets to choose, and as long as the child is fed, clothed and well looked after then this information is irrelevant to the absent parent as it is none of their business.
The EMA you are talking about, and it may not be the full �30 is to buy school books and uniform alongside other school stuff and is NOT to be included in the household income. The child will not be expected to pay for food, clothing, rent etc out of the EMA.
If I were you, to retain any good relationship with your child and it's mother, you should continue to pay support until s/he leaves education as any good father would do. If that child were living under your roof, you would be paying, so why stop now just because of that magical number 16?
