50:50 custody
parent A - earns 50k
parent B - earns 69k

would there be child maintenance or no? Anyone similar? Posting here for traffic.

No, assuming both parents pay for whatever the child needs during their time with them.

I don't think so with 50:50 - though it depends if one parent takes on the lions share of costs ie who pays for clubs or school uniform? Or is it all split equally?

No, you have 50/50 custody.
Both parents are doing their half the the child raising. Why should parent B do extra?

Unlikely. With 50/50 child maintenance is normally only payable if one partner is a high earner. Neither of those salaries would be in that bracket.
