Child maintenance

[Moonstar13]

My daughter is 18 and in full time further education. She has started working one day a week. Her father has to pay child maintenance but now that she is doing intermittent part time work, he is saying he doesn't have to pay. Is this correct as there are so many conflicting versions of this on-line?
Thanks

* You’re normally expected to pay child maintenance until your child is 16, or until they’re 20 if they’re in school or college full time doing:*

A-levels,
Highers or
Equivalent.
Child maintenance might stop earlier – for example, if one parent dies or the child stops being eligible for child benefit.**

She is still in full time education but I think what he is saying to her is that because she has now started to do a little bit of work, he doesn't have to pay anymore. If my daughter works one day a week for extra pocket money alongside College, can it affect what the Child Maintenance service say he has to pay to support her?

No. As long as you are entitled to CHB non resident parent still pays maintenance.

At times my stepson earns a fair bit and we still pay.

No, he still needs to pay.

Thank you so much for your help.

Even if she was to work for more than 24hrs per work as she’s still in college he’ll need to pay as you get child benefit.

If he continues to be an arse if it’s been a while since CMS assessed him and you think he’s earning more then ask for a reassessment

Thank you, that's really helpful.

Does anybody have any knowledge of how a refusal to supersede works? Is this a permanent thing or just until the renewal date? Any advice would be helpful
