    Hi. My daughter has moved in with me recently and she is going to college this week. I did pay €320 a month to her mother when my daughter lived with her. Is the mother now entitled to pay me maintenance as my daughter is 18?

    Yes. Child maintenance is due up until the child is 23 if they continue their education full-time. If she's now living with you and you're supporting her, then the non-custodial parent is liable to may maintenance. So the mother would be liable to pay maintenance - in theory.

    No idea. I would guess that the person paying maintenance may still be liable for maintenance, but the amount may be reduced - depending on which side of the bed the judge got up on.
