A. On 12 April 2010 the law on child maintenance changed. The change means that parents with care who are on benefit can now keep all of the child maintenance they receive and it does not affect their benefits. In the past, if the parent with care or their partner was getting income-related benefits and was getting child maintenance, the parent with care may not have got their full amount of benefits.
