Hi guys,just joined and hope everyone coping ok?
I’ve been paying for my kids for the last 12 years without any contact…due to the mother!
im sure some can relate!
I phoned CSA to say the youngest child will be leaving education in June this year,the CSA told me I will need to keep paying until September as this is when child benefit will stop?
I thought once the child leaves education you stop paying? She will be 18 this November!
any help much appreciated 🥰
Hi,
With Child benefit there are certain termination dates throughout the year. Check this:
My son has just told me he has his last A level exam in May 2023 he is 18, I am now confused as to when my CMS payments stop because his mum is saying September.
I think she is correct - even though his last exam is May, I think the way it works is that he is still in full time education until he gets his results.
