hi all i have a quick question to see if anyone else has experienced this i have just been informed by a random telephone call from the csa. that although my daughter finishes college in June and starts university in September the money i was paying will go towards my son now is this right?
Hi There,
I haven't heard of this before you would normally pay a percentage of your wage, I think the amount for the 2nd (and each child after that) is reduced so maybe that has something to do with it, I would give them a call back and ask for a better explanation.

Hi Barnster
Thank you for your post. I am William the Child Maintenance Options consultant. We are unable to comment on Child Support Agency (CSA) cases as we are a separate organisation and do not have access to your case information. Therefore, as Got the shirt has mentioned, you may wish to contact the CSA directly with your query. You can find their contact details on any letters that you may have received or by visiting Gov.uk at https://www.gov.uk/child-support-agency. You can also find more information on how the CSA works out child maintenance at https://www.gov.uk/how-child-maintenance-is-worked-out/how-the-child-support-agency-works-out-child-maintenance.
For more information on the ways to set up child maintenance, please visit our website at http://www.cmoptions.org. Alternatively, you can call us free on 0800 988 0988 between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday or 9am and 4pm on a Saturday. We have a sorting out separation web-app that you may find useful. It offers help and support to separating and separated families. The link is: www.dad.info/divorce-and-separation/sorting-out-separation.
