What is child maintenance?
Child maintenance is regular, reliable financial support parents provide for their child when they separate. It can help towards a child's everyday living costs and give them the best start in life.
Talking Child Maintenance blog
As a parent you will want what’s best for your children even
though you might not be living with their mother or father. The Talking Child Maintenance blog is an online space
for you to share views and experiences on living apart but working together to benefit your children.
Child maintenance has changed
More than half a million children in the UK now benefit from an arrangement that their parents have agreed between themselves. This is called a family-based or family arrangement.
