Question label:
Private maintenance agreement
Question text:
Apart from CMS calculations or court orders, parents might make private, or family based, arrangements for the care of their children. These can be either formalised in writing or arranged informally. They might involve regular payments, payments for specific things like school fees, holidays or pocket money, or non-financial help such as providing clothing or sharing care. Do you have a private arrangement that you should receive either financial or non-financial contributions from a previous partner either on behalf of yourself, or any children?
Question universe:
if CMRoute = 1 (If biological/adoptive parent of child aged under 16 or child aged 16-19 in full-time education, whose other biological/adoptive parent is not currently resident in the HH)
and if CSACalc = 1 | 2 (If child's non-resident biological/adoptive parent is alive)
Question interviewer instructions:
ADD IF NECESSARY “by a private agreement we mean one that has not been set-up using the Child Maintenance Service or via a Court Order.” IF ANSWERS “Yes”, PROBE WHETHER THIS IS FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR CHILDREN OR BOTH
