Hi all, my daughter is 18 and I’ve always paid CM directly to mother. (Never ever missed a payment) I had a confirmation email from college to inform me that my daughter has now been withdrawn from her college course and the final date was 12th Dec 2024 although I had paid full payment in Dec and half payment in Jan 2025 !
im under the impression that I no longer have to pay Cm given she is over 18 and is also working part time.
Although I received this email from my ex partner (never married)
I tried to update Child benefits but the man stated me ex has a duty to update re any changes !
it looks like she has not informed that my daughter is working part time ! !
Email read -
- Just giving you an update.
Child maintainance should be paid until end of Feb if xxxxxxxxx is no longer in education.
Child maintainance said as long as I receive child benefit I should receive child maintainance from you.
I’ve informed child benefit and they said I can apply for a 20 week extension of child benefit (whilst xxxxxxxxx. sorts out what she wants to do) which I did last week because I will still have to financially support her, well WE still need to support her.
I have now sent you confirmation that child benefit will be paid until 1sept 2025, which means you should still be paying too.
How do you want to proceed? I’m happy to arrange through the maintenance service if you still believe you shouldn’t be paying and let them sort it? Let me know
Thanks
