She doesn’t decide what she gets, he CSA does. Inform the CSA of his income and the amount of time the kids spend with him and they will work it out. What they say he is to pay is what he must pay.
The new CSA rules, which they’d be on, try to get the parents to come to an arrangement themselves. If they cant then they can take up to 40% of his income plus an additional 20% off him for collecting the money from him. The parent with care only gets the 40% minus 4% for paying her. Its the worst calculation they have ever came up with so its financially better if they can agree who’s paying what to who.
I had this new system done to me and had to leave my job as i had no money left to pay my rent, feed my other 2 kids and the 2 that i had shared care of with my ex. I never even had enough money left to buy petrol to get to work and as im disabled i couldnt use the bus. Try and get them to arrange something or they’ll both lose out. I went to my MP and he went to head of DWP but he couldnt get it changed. I only had £200 left from my pay and my rent & C/T was £600 so i nearly lost my house over it. I have a severely ill daughter so now i stay at home and care for her
Normally they only take 40% of income when there are arrears outstanding.
Maintenance for two children is 19% of gross income less 1/7 for each night of shared care..
They only take a fifth of the maintenance as a fee if the NRP is not willing to set up regular payments him/her self and chooses to pay through CMS.
The PWC will only receive 96% of the maintenance if payments are through CMS.
Always best to make a private arrangement if possible.
