Hi,
My son will be turning 18 this Saturday and he's going to be finishing his A Levels soon. Do I still have to pay maintenance? Also my wife has got into a new relationship.

    Once your son has ended full time non advanced education then you will no longer need to continue to pay the child maintenance (CM).

    That has nothing to do with you paying CM.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Has that helped to clear that up for you @pokeve92? You may also find it helpful to read Money Helper's page about child maintenance payments.

    I'm not sure of your circumstances, but I can imagine this may have perhaps brought up some difficult feelings. How have you been coping? 

    I hope your son's A Levels go well!
