She's never asked me for anything. I have no proof that she's in any education... and yet the LBI is taking a claim to the bailiff, and they're seizing my property because I haven't paid.\n\n Is this legally permissible? Am I entitled to anything? Or can we just mess around a bit?\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The LBIO is the agency that is claiming this amount from you in the form of child support, through your daughter as the principal. So far, nothing new under the sun, and you can't avoid it. The child may be entitled to a higher allowance than is currently being claimed.\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301187826013,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-68500-sinds-1-van-de-kinderen-uit-vorig-huwelijk-16-jaar-niet-gehoord-of-gezien-en-achternaam-gewijzigd","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
