Child maintenance is a strict calculation based on the income and expenses of the non-resident parent towards a child’s living costs.  Whilst Child Support is primarily dealt with by the Child Support Agency, it is possible for parents to enter into a private agreement to regulate the level of child support.  Also, disputes may arise due to hidden income or exaggerated expenses.
