Anyone in the same boat as me. DD has Separated parents. (Unmarried, too). DD does not live with me, but stays with me 10 days a month. I have always been paying more than CSA requirement. Child support ends in June. I will no longer legally be obliged to pay anything. However, mum doesn't earn much. Can 18yo DD claim JSA until she starts Uni? Would it be unfair of me to pay only HALF what I have been paying per month, until she goes to uni (then re-negotiate the top up to the Uni Grant DD will receive?) Should I make DD find work for the summer holidays and offer to pay mum a token amount for board and lodging?
