can you get in trouble for not declaring child maintenance
Posts. 231. The answer is No, it does not effect the amount of benefit entitlement you will received. You need to declare that you receive the maintenance but along with child benefit it has now been disregared as income and can not be taken into account when calcutating what you will be awarded.08-12-09, 07:32 #6.he answer is No, it does not effect the amount of benefit entitlement you will received.

However, 16 is the minimum age where child maintenance can stop. Between the ages of 16 and 19, if the child is enrolled full-time in school (more than 12 hours per week and the course is up to and including A level), child maintenance for the child must be paid.This does not apply to advanced study, like study at a college or university, this only includes non-advanced study.ou must pay child maintenance for the 11 year old no matter what kind of school she is or isn t in-under no circumstances do you not owe child maintenance for her to the custodial parent. The 16 year old may be a different story.
