Child maintenance refers to the financial support provided by one parent to the other, typically when the parents do not live together, to contribute to the child’s living costs. The amount is typically based on a variety of factors, including the income of the non-resident parent, the number of children, and any special circumstances such as a child’s healthcare or educational needs.
Our experienced team of family lawyers will help you navigate the often complicated calculations that come with child maintenance and support and will ensure you receive or pay an amount that accurately reflects the needs of your children.
