Child Maintenance is financial support towards your child/children’s everyday living costs when you’ve separated from the other parent. You can arrange this privately or can use the Child Maintenance service.

The Child Maintenance Service can help you with:
- Locating the other parent (if you don’t know where they live)
- Resolve disagreements over parentage
- Calculate how much child maintenance should be paid
- Arrange for the ‘paying’ (one who doesn’t have the main day-to-day care) parent to pay child maintenance
- Pass payment to the ‘receiving’ parent
- Review the payments if circumstances change
- Annual payment reviews
- Take action if payments are not made
