 In cases where the carer is not receiving Welfare Benefits, he or she can ask the CSA to make a
maintenance assessment but this is not compulsory.
In
some limited cases the court still has powers to make maintenance orders for children. For instance against step-parents or where "top-up" maintenance is needed over and above
the amount awarded by the CSA.
The CSA has powers to make a parent pay maintenance for a child. The amount of
maintenance is calculated using a strict formula. Contact Andersons Solicitors
team of experts.
