Maintenance Reductions

Hi, I cannot seem to find an answer to this question so hopefully someone can shed some light?

I know we pay maintenance until our child(ren) leave full time education, but what I wonder is, does the amount we pay ever reduce as our children get older ie turn 16 or 18?

I have always wondered this but never been able to find an answer.

 

thanks in advance!

hi,

with CMS, you pay depending on your income and how many kids you have.

  • One childThe paying parent pays 12% of their gross weekly income
  • Two childrenThe paying parent pays 16% of their gross weekly income
  • Three or more childrenThe paying parent pays 19% of their gross weekly income 
     

so if you have 2 kids, and 1 leaves full-time education and drops out of CMS case, your payments reduce.
