Child maintenance - private arrangement - inflation

2 replies

I have a private arrangement with my ex-H in relation to maintenance. The amount is quite a lot as he is a very high earner. There has never been an issue with this but I am starting g to wonder whether it’s a bit unfair that the amount has been the same for about 5 years now and so in real terms less, because of inflation. I had thought about raising this with him but raising any financial issues always runs the risk of annoying him…

Has anyone been in a similar position?

I have a similar thing and he got a new job recently which i know he will earn more for. However he also sends extra like half uniform costs/school trips/birthday parties so feel a bit awkward to ask for more.

Yes, exactly - it is awkward - my exH also pays for extras. In an ideal world he would just increase it without me asking but that’s just how it is…
