My ex partner is now married – should I be getting more?

Hello I’m wondering if since my partner has got married if he should pay a different amount of matinencee to me, he has remarried and has our daughter at weekends, and they have the wife’s child living with them. Does anything change?

  1. Simple answer is no. They don’t take partners income into consideration. That’s like saying if you get remarried should he pay less ???
    Fair is fair kids only have 2 parents not 3 or 4
    Hope this answers your question

  2. To you??? If anything, he will pay less due to a child living with them. So, by all means, contact CSA. Your greed will only backfire.

    And that money is your daughter’s, not yours. Yet another example of how a PWC thinks.

  3. Indeed NO
    Why the hell should his partner support you as well as the kids father.cheeky so and so…and yes …how bout you getting a new partner earning a good salary…you feel hard done by if the CSA took his salary into consideriation and deciding your ex should pay you less.
    Gonk

  4. Maintenance might reduce if the child has newly moved into the NRP’s household and not been taken in to account previously.

  5. You may find that you should be getting less. When my partner moved in with us and his ex contacted the CSA, they made an allowance from his salary for the 2 kids he lives with (who are not his), before taking off the percentage for her/their child from his salary, and when our own child is born next month, the CSA have said this will be lowered again for his other child with his ex.

  6. The title of this post is misleading!?!?!?

    She is not asking if she should get more money, she is asking if the amount should change given the fact that her ex has got married and has a child living with him as well as the child that lives with her…

    It’s statements like the title that get peoples backs up and cause trouble on this website…. :-/

  7. @ Sally, fair comment and for once I will agree with you.

    @ Emma, the poster of this thread, the answer is twofold, subject to which rules your case is on, If your case is pre April 2003 and the ex’s wife is working and subject to how he was assessed in the first place with housing costs etc, then there is a possibility maintenance will go up.
    If the case started after April 2003 and subject to the circumstances at the initial time of calculation, then there is a fair chance that maintenance will now reduce.

    So as Sally has stated, there is really to little info provided in order for adefinitive answer to your question.
