If I have my son, do I still pay for my daughter?

I am currently in a divorce proceeding with my ex and we have two children, a boy (14) and a girl (12). She wants to have the girl while i get the boy. do i still need to pay her maintenance for my daughter.

i would still like to pay for her maintence on a voluntary basis, i just want to know if legally i am bound to pay for her.

Regards

  1. Legally yes. But if your on good terms with your ex partner you could both come to an agreement which suits you both. Try keep the csa out of it because they cause more problems. There’s a 2 year gap between both kids so it’s not hard to work the sums out.
    If the csa get involved they will award who ever is in receipt of the child benefit
    So basically if your soon to be ex is in receipt if the benefit that should be enough and you just support your son. But legally she be claiming child benefit for both kids which really you should be claiming for your son. Now if csa get involved they will take 15% of your net income. And they should take 15% of her net income. So if you earn more than her she will receive more than what you will receive
    Hope this helps and try keep csa out of it
