Generally, both parents are responsible for the financial support of their children until they turn 18.
You and your spouse can agree on what an appropriate level of child support would be for your circumstances. If you can't agree then the Child Support Agency will assess it using a formula.
Also, both you and your former spouse will be expected to support yourselves after the separation.
If you can't, the other may have to pay maintenance.
This usually happens when one spouse cares for young children or can't work due to disability.
