Variable note:

The Child Maintenance Module variables stored in the chmain file loop over each child identified in wave 9 through the indresp file variables csakidno (children covered by CSA/CMS calculation), cmcokidno (children covered by court order payments), and cmvolkidno (children covered by voluntary payments) only when the corresponding variables csacalc (CSA/CMS made calculation), cmcord (maintenance court order), and cmvol (private maintenance agreement) are answered “Yes”.
In other waves, when these questions (csacalc, cmcord, cmvol) are answered “No”, the child-level variables (csakidno, cmcokidno, cmvolkidno) are coded as “–8” (inapplicable), and those cases remain in the dataset.

childmaintenance_w15.recon2
