depends on your salary and how often you have your kids overnight. On my salary, if I didn’t have them at all I would have had to pay around that.
Csa don’t care about your living costs, they don’t them into account. Basically the csa will say you need to pay 20% of your wages as you are paying for 2. If you have then overnight you will get a small reduction
you can do that your self to check btw or call the CSA help line to check as new rules well apply to the claim
That.s what we pay for my two step son.s. Depends what wage you are on.
The phrase “money is the root of all evil” is most apt when it comes to separating from the other parent of your children. Have you already agreed how many nights at each other’s?
You say she “demands” that amount so I’d try and get a contact plan completed in writing & signed before you argue over maintenance.
There’s a lot of NRP’s who find their contact reduced or taken away by the PWC when they realise they get more money the less stopovers the other parent gets. Then get on the CMEC calculator yourself and negotiate if the amount you pay is too high, but make sure you have a stays quo established first with your contact because with money amicability goes out of the window so you may end up in family court after all, and they like to maintain what contact has already been ongoing.
Status Quo….damn predictive text 🙂
I think that’s a reasonable amount if your wife is paying for the rent/mortgage, food, bills, children’s after school & weekend activities, holidays and clothes etc. The money you contribute will hopefully go towards all of this. I hope you manage to remain friends. All the best.
There’s no details given on what his income is or what contact arrangements are Maxine. If he has a good level of contact then he’ll have the same type of costs to pay out.
Remaining amicable is definitely what’s best for the children, hopefully they can work things out.
