My son is 20, at university and also has a part time jobs, he has moved into his girlfriends parents with her my ex wife keeps giving me grief saying that I gave to pay CSA until he is 21 and us really turning the screws on me, every time I try to speak to her about things she just keeps threatening that she will go to the CSA and get them to take my voluntary payment out if my wages, I'm strapped and now getting in to major debt over things, couple this with my son now taking her side and not even bothering to visit me or speak to me on fone, even the stage where my daughter is doing the same, anyone got any idea or infor please?
Hi there
CSA stops at the age of 20! It should have stopped when he started at Uni as this is classed as advanced education, further if he is no longer living with his mother, she isn't entitled to anything for him and if she is still claiming child benefit, that will be fraudulently!
Why don't you contact the CSA (now the CMS) yourself, I'm sure they'll tell you the same thing.
As far as your daughter is concerned, if she is in non advanced, full time education,is under the age of 20 and still lives at home then your payments should continue.
Hope that helps
Thank so ir that, will have to contact the CMS to get confirmation on that.
