Do I still have to pay maintenance for my son if he has refused to see me since his Barmitzvah?

Under Jewish law a father is able to get a reduction in child maintenance if his teenage son is "rebellious". You can apply to court for a reduction in child maintenance, based on his behaviour. If you are found not to be at fault and your son's refusal to see you is unjustified, they you may well be entitled to pay him less.
