DH has two DD by first marriage aged 17 (18 in Jan) and 15 (16 in Sept) he had a court order dated 2000 that stated he would pay a set amount until each child attains the age of 18 or ceases full time education which ever is the latter.
We have two children together aged 11 and 9. Oldest DD is 17 and in sixth form at school studying for A levels with an intention to go onto Uni possibly. Other DD is nearly 16 and has to stay at school until 18 anyway. We think she may not go onto college or Uni.
My question is do can we stop paying the ex maintenance once DD is 18 and finishes her time in sixth form? We dont actually want to stop maintenance but what we would like to do is pay a set amount to DD instead of the ex. Can we do that? Could she go to the CSA? We still want to support DDs but want to pay some money directly to them and not the ex.
