My client has a boy of 17 , he will be 18 in June , he is doing A levels at present. Lived with mother since parents split up 10 years ago , has had some problems with the police so father decided he should go and live with him.This was at first a temporary thing but now it looks as though it will be permanent. The mother wants to relinquish the CHB from the permanent date of leaving , the father says he doesn't want the CHB and the mother should keep it , but I don't think she can keep it.Even if the father agrees , am I right , she will have to inform them of a change of circs? There is the possibility he will return to live with the mother , but obviously this is an unknown qauntity. I have visions of the CHB going back and forward between the 2 parents.
Is there a period where CHB is paid to the original parent after the child has left or is it stopped straightaway? Thanks.
