Autism/ Child maintenance

NAS39182

Hi, I'm a father who is currently paying child maintenance for my Autistic son who is now 16, I have no contact with him due to his mother. I was wondering if anybody could tell me when I would stop paying Child maintenance for him as I am not sure how the Education system works in this case. The reason I ask is because my ex wife tried to make a claim for my daughter who is now 19 and she had left Full time education

  • Hi NAS39182,

    You may like to contact our Autism Helpline team who can give general autism information and advice -  they are unlikely to be able to offer specific advice on child maintenance, but may be able to point you in the right direction to get the help that you need.

    To contact the Helpline directly you may wish to call them on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Thursday 10am to 4pm, Friday, 9am to 3pm). Please press Option 2 to speak to an adviser. Please note the Helpline team are experiencing a high volume of calls so it could take you a few attempts to get through to an adviser.

    Regards,
