Why can’t my child’s money be paid to me?

The vast majority of child claims are settled at court and in most of these cases we will be told on the judgement order where to pay the child’s funds. If we were to pay them anywhere else, this would be a breach of the court order. In all child cases it’s important that the funds are protected and held securely until the child turns 18. They are usually paid into the Court Funds Office or a trust fund.
