my 16 yr old leaves school in june and is going to college 2 days a week will I have to still pay maintenance
I think if they are in full time education, you will still have to pay. might be worth phoning CMS and discuss it with them?
You will be liable if the education is full time (over 12 hours per week) and non-advanced.
If the education is advanced i.e. HNC, HND or degree you may no longer liable.

hi,
when was the last time you met or had any contact with your daughter?
do you have any contact with her mum?
you could try contact child benefit office and find out if your daughter still getting benefit. if shes not then, shes not longer entitled to it and really you should also stop paying child maintenance.
