The Child Maintenance Service offers 2 different ways of paying child maintenance:

  • Direct Pay – where you manage payments directly with the other parent (once we’ve worked out a child maintenance amount)
  • Collect & Pay – where we set up and manage your payments for you

This factsheet tells you about Direct Pay.

We have published a separate factsheet about Collect & Pay.
