At what age does 'full-time education' end?

[Betti]

My DH is divorced and it was agreed that he would pay maintenence until the children leave full time education but he's unclear as to whether this is age 18 or when they leave university. Does anyone know or is it different for every situTion?

Thank you

ahh that is very bad that that wasn't covered when you agreed the order.

it should specify either full time secondary education or university education

it will really depend on what both of your intentions were when you entered into it

basically i ask parents if they hope their kids will go to university - if they say yes I think it is right that it continues until then

why don't you see if you can agree? you are going to still have expenses relating to them while they are there, he really should still pay. but if they go to university away from home so you aren't feeding them etc perhaps you could agree a lower amount in term time?

My dad paid the maintenance to me once I left home to go to university.

Might be a good compromise?

As I understand it, it is until they are 18 (19 sometimes)

When I went to University my dad paid the maintenance to me rather than my mum. I then paid some back to her during the hols as I lived with her.

I doubt you would get a court agreement for maintenance past 18yo/end of A levels but I might be wrong

you are wrong gettingeasier
it is very common, especially if it is likely the children will go to university and the money is htere

Thank you everyone. I need to dig out the original paperwork.
