Hi, all. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the .gov.uk child maintenance calculator differing significantly from the actual amount dictated by the CMS, and the factors that might cause this.
My ex-husband is refusing to pay the maintenance amount given out by the calculator. I get that it's because it's rather a lot and he'd rather have the money for himself, but he seems fixated on an amount £200 less each month, which he believes is correct because of "travel time", as he moved 40 minutes away from the family home and the children's school.
He is also applying through court for 50/50 time during the holidays, but as this will keep the average over the course of the year firmly in the 2-3 days a week range, that shouldn't come under the definition of "shared care" and therefore stop payments, should it?
I suppose I just want to be prepared for the worst case scenario.
Thanks in anticipation. x
