Parents are responsible for the bread and butter of their kids. It’s the rule of this world. But for every person things don’t always go right and in accordance to the universal rules. Divorce rate is increasing horribly and it’s a darker side of the world. Children suffer the most because of the divorce between their parents. When the parents get separated from each other, then the responsibilities also get divided. Due to this division children basic rights are started to get ignored by their own parents. In some cases one parent of the child ran away from his/her responsibilities. In other cases both of the parents don’t get agreed on the agreement of sharing responsibilities of their kids. Whereas on the other side single parent can’t afford the expense of his/her kids alone.
Fortunately in some cases parents resolve this issue on their own without including the third person. This type of child maintenance is known as Family-based arrangement. If your family doesn’t get agreed on sharing the responsibilities of the kid’s then child support agency help those families in resolving their conflicts. We are working as a non-profit organization since 1993. We basically help couples in the following ways:
- We help you in finding your partner in case if you don’t know where they live.
- We help you in deciding that how much money will be paid by you for the child care maintenance.
- We decide the paying parent among the two. The paying parent won’t be responsible for the day to day activities of his/her children.
- We hand over the payment from the paying parent to the receiving parent.
- We keep an eye on the payment paid by the parent.
- Strict action is taken by us if payments aren’t made.
Now you must be thinking that who is eligible for the child support services:
- If your kids under 16 and they are studying.
- If your kids are under 20 but they are full time students and due to their tight study schedule they are not able to earn on their own. Moreover, the child is living with the parent who has applied in child support agency.
Now, the next step is who can apply for child maintenance:
- The parent who is responsible for the day to day activities of his/her kids.
- The parent with whom child doesn’t live.
- Any guardian or grandparent of the child.
- Child him/herself can apply for the child support if he/she is aged below 12.
You can’t apply for this service if you are not living in the UK. If you want to apply then we expect you to give us the following information:
- We’d be asking the details about the children you are applying for. It will include their names and the parent names.
- Your National Insurance number.
- Your bank account details because we will be transferring payments into your accounts.
For any information you can dial the Child Support Agency Helpline Number.
