what age do you stop paying child maintenance

The age at which child maintenance payments stop varies depending on the country and state. In the UK, child maintenance payments usually stop when children reach the age of 16, or when they finish full-time non-advanced education. However, if the child is in full-time approved education, payments may continue until they finish their course. In the US, most states terminate child support obligations when a child reaches the age of majority or graduates from high school. It is important to note that child maintenance payments are designed to cover everyday living expenses for the child, including food, housing, and clothing. If you are paying child maintenance and are concerned that it is not being spent on your child, you should contact an experienced child maintenance solicitor.
