Parents are responsible for maintaining their dependent children up to the child's 18th birthday or up to 23 if the child is in full time education, or would be if maintenance was being paid. If the child has a mental or physical disability to such an extent that it is not reasonably possible for the child to maintain her/himself fully then there is no upper age limit for seeking maintenance for her/his support.If parents are having difficulty agreeing maintenance they can try mediation or collaborative law.

Maintanence for the children is co-extensive hence both would have to contribute .
