Interviewer Instruction: ADD IF NECESSARY "Documents such as letters from the Child Support Agency or your own agreements with your partner may help you to answer these questions."
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 Support Agency or just made privately between the parents without involving the CSA 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 50/50 care.
{if BENEFITS.BenSta = 4 | BENEFITS.BenFam = 3} I'd now like to ask you some more details about the maintenance payments you receive. / {if BENEFITS.BenSta is not equal to 4 & BENEFITS.BenFam is not equal to 3} I'd now like to ask you about any maintenance payments you could receive for your children.
