50/50 childcare & child maintanance

Hfgjhcjvjv · 04/12/2020 23:46

So hoping to get some answers. Both parents have the child equally, they are involved equally (school pick up drop offs, providing clothes, food, taking to after school classes, medical appointments etc). Child maintanance service is useless and unable to provide any clear answers. One of the parents thinks the other should still pay child maintanance. Can anyone help? Is anyone here in this situation? Who decides which os a paying / receiving parent and how if care and provisions are equal? Thanks

I just think it does a disservice to women to give the impression more financial support may be available on a divorce than actually is. It's why it's so important that women are fully aware of how significant the decision to completely stop working can be.

I agree with @Isthatitnow on this one. @NoIDontWatchLoveIsland I work ft and always have done. I'll never earn in excess of £105k pa though. My earning capacity will always be far less than that, despite my career. See my previous posts.
