My head hurts - I've just spent a frustrating hour and more the surfing the net without success. Anyone know where I can get the detail on the anticipated CMEC Gross Income Scheme for calculating child maintenance?
What I'm most interested in is "what is gross income exactly?". How does it manage pension contributions, [investment scheme] cash dividends, dividends reinvested, etc?
Personal circumstances
My ex is hostile, money-fixated and doesn't see why her standard of living should suffer just because I have to pay for a 2nd home/car/life after the divorce she caused & demanded. ps said this so you'd have sympathy for me
I'm not interested in how to dodge payment by fiddling my income (I already pay more than the CSA requires). ps and this too
I am off sick from a large company.
I have no self-employed earnings.
I have a small military pension.
I have no sick pay but my company is still paying me around 10% of my pay which I expect them to claw back.
I want to top up my company pension contributions to at least extinguish any pay not clawed back, and probably more on top.
I have shares and unit trusts (held as dealing accounts, share certificates, ISAs, company schemes) & with a mixture of cash and reinvested dividends.
Thanks for any help.
