Hi
Looking for some objective information.
Currently starting into a divorce process after 9 years separated. Background
3 children aged 22, 16 and 15. Reside 100% of the time with mother, no contact at all with father unfortunately ( entirely his decision). Maintenance of €200 per week. No other financial input ever. Eldest still in full time education until May 2025. Ex intends to stop maintenance for eldest when they turn 23 in a few months and has refused any payment towards education/college fees.
Any information online appears to suggest maintenance is until age 23. Is this correct?
With children starting school at 5/6 years of age, transition year and possible repeat of leaving cert is 23 the cut off point?
I’ve obviously pointed out that morally it’s reprehensible to cut them off for the final year and a half and they will still be fully dependent in terms of housing/ heating/ feeding and college fees. He suggested I find some legal document that states he must pay until education is finished but so far I haven’t come across anything.
Anyone any suggestions?
Thanks
