Details

Child maintenance is an arrangement between you and the other parent of your child. It covers how your child’s living costs will be paid for when one of the parents no longer lives with them.

This guide can help you write down your child maintenance arrangement for your children, if both parents agree.

Talk to the other parent about making your own arrangements.
