Text: Maintenance arrangements are sometimes made by parents, if they do not live together, to help support any children. These can be regular payments made through Court Orders, through the Child Maintenance Service or just made privately between the parents without involving the CMS or Courts. A private or family based arrangement could also include payments for specific things like school fees, clothing or holidays, or even involve non-financial help like shared care.
I'd now like to ask you some more details about the maintenance payments you receive. {if BENEFITS.BenSta = 4} I'd now like to ask you about any maintenance payments you could receive for your children. {if BENEFITS.BenSta is not equal to 4}
