Ex H and I have 3 DC.
He has them for 3 nights a week and I have them for 4. He works full time an uses his mother as childcare. I work part time as have no free childcare and do school runs.
He pays £14 maintenance per week per child, 10% of his salary. I also get child tax credits.
If he had them for 2 more nights a fortnight he would have to pay any maintenance as it would be considered 50/50 care and he is very keen to do this. He has said he feels he shouldn't pay maintenance at all and the system is "fucked up".
He doesn't see much of the DC, they are left with his mother so I'm not keen to agree.
Is it unfair?
