My understanding

“If your child moves abroad, you can still add cash to their Junior ISA.
Your child’s Junior ISA will be in their name, but the parent who opens it is responsible for managing the account and is known as the ‘registered contact’.
The registered contact is the only person who can:
- change the account, for example from a cash to a stocks and shares Junior ISA
- change the account provider
- report changes of circumstances, for example change of address”
What happens if I/ the child move abroad, am I still able to pay into my Junior Cash ISA?
Yes. As long as the child was a UK resident when the Junior cash ISA was opened, you will still be able to pay into the Junior cash ISA even though you and/or the child have moved abroad.
I have had a terrible time with the HALIFAX to the extent its gone to the ombudsman over my daughter,s isa( 13 now) which say I cannot pay into the ISA
