Father Begs The Court To Stop Maintenance Order While Baby Mama Challenges Him Nyandoro argued before the civil court that his maintenance obligations should cease as both children had reached legal adulthood, with one currently employed. “My children are now over 18 years old, and one has secured employment.
I request the court to relieve me of this order,” he stated.

This debt prevented my son from collecting his A-level certificate,” Diringa explained to the court.
She petitioned the magistrate to enforce payment of both the delinquent school fees and accumulated maintenance arrears.
Courts Reject Financial Hardship Defense The pensioner attributed his non-compliance to retirement-induced financial instability.
He shared with the courts that he left his job, and he did not have a fixed income, which made him miss some of the maintenance payments. “After leaving employment, my income became unpredictable, making consistent payments impossible,” Nyandoro defended. 78-Year-Old Retired Man Ordered To Pay Backdated Maintenance For His 2 Adult Children Magistrate Makumbe ruled that while maintenance orders typically expire when children reach majority, outstanding balances remain enforceable.
