Setting up child maintenance
This section is to help parents decide if they should use the services of the Child Maintenance and Enforcement Division's Statutory Maintenance Service or agree their own maintenance arrangements privately.
In this section:
We can help you by working out how much maintenance should be paid and collecting the maintenance payments on your behalf.
What we need to know
When we work out how much child maintenance should be paid, we will ask both parents some questions to get the information we need. See the Application Checklist.On benefits?
If you claim Income Support or Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance, it could affect the amount of child maintenance you would receive or pay.
Child benefit
If you receive child benefit for your children, this does not affect how much child maintenance should be paid.
