AGREED COURT ORDERS ( Child Maintenance + DIVORCING WITHOUT A LAWYER )

The most common instance in which the court can still make a child maintenance order is where the maintenance is agreed as part of a divorce settlement. However, after 12 months have elapsed from the date of the order, either party may then apply to the CSA for a child support assessment, which may obviously be for a different amount to the order, and the assessment will replace the order.
