My now ex-P works a 40 hour week, and earns minimum wage whilst doing qualifications.
He has told me he will pay whatever I ask and to just tell him.
This is his way of saying he is having no input whatsoever.
I have no idea what an acceptable amount is.
I don't have much income and will be a student in September but I know that me and DS can survive. (I'm used to doing that ;P).
I have checked the CSA calculator and it says around £25 a week.
Would rather do it on our own though.
I suppose I am struggling as he never helped financially when he was here, so the thought of actually get money from him seems alien.
So what is an okay amount for maintenance?
