I have now gone through CSA/CMO but wanting to get some opinions/reassurance first.
I have a 16 month old son. His father and I both work full time. Son is in full-time nursery so that costs between £830 and £1000 a month (depending on if it's a 5 week month). We both have childcare vouchers from our wages (salary sacrifice/tax dodge!) to a value of £243 each month. We both earn similar after tax and vouchers of around £1750 a month.
STBEH jointly owns house I still live in with our son and lives rent-free with either his mother or, more likely, his girlfriend.
Each month so far I have got different sums of money from him but none as low as this month. All I got this month was half the mortgage (and associated insurances). He is going to pay the childcare vouchers to the nursery and that's it. No extra money for our son. He is paying half the mortgage but he has a vested interest and a legal entitlement to it.
He pays nothing in kind - no clothes, toys, nappies etc. he has never bought our son anything - even for Christmas and birthday.
Is this right? Just half the mortgage and the childcare vouchers?
Thanks in advance,
