Child Maintenance Options

Child Maintenance Options provides free, impartial information and support to help parents make informed decisions about child maintenance arrangements.

Child maintenance is about providing help with a child's everyday living costs. This includes things like food and clothes, and helping to provide a home for your child or children and it is usually money that the parent without the main day-to-day care of a child pays to the other parent.

Once a parent has contacted the service, child maintenance options are given and explained but the final decision is the parents.

Child Maintenance Options will also help signpost parents to other organisations which can help them to resolve some of their concerns or issues which do not relate to child maintenance
