Maintenance / Child Support

Home / I am divorced, with custody of the children. My ‘ex’ does not pay the child maintenance the court sets. He is very unstable and seems incapable of holding down any job. His parents are very comfortably off. Can I get maintenance from them if I work ?

The fact that the mother works does not, in itself, prevent the grandchildren from being entitled to maintenance from their paternal grandfather if their own father cannot support them.
