Hi, Please advise, I have a consent order to pay maintenance to my ex for my Daughter, she is now 18 and going to uni'. The court order states I must pay until 17 or leaves full time education. My wifes solicitor says that Section 29 subsection 3 of the Matrimonial causes act 1973, states that it authorises the court to make a child maintenance order in respect of a child over the age of 18 if they are "receiving insrtuction at an educational establishment", this is all very wordy if you read the Section, can anyone throw some light on this, all the people I have spoken to (CSA and CMS) seem to think that payments should stop but none have heard of this subsection 3. Regards Mike
