Split costs on different incomes

[Depolo]

Household A: Income of £30000 per annum

Household B: Income of £128000 per annum (before tax/NI)

3 x children. 50/50 joint care between homes. No maintenance paid, but all joint costs split 50/50 ie uniform, school trips, dinner money. Children have two wardrobes provided at each household, costs are not shared for activities booked and organised at individual homes.

My question. Should joint costs be split 50/50 as per shared care agreement OR should costs be split on an income ratio.

It is late to be buying uniform which does beg the question thay with three kids and knowing they needed uniform why the op didn’t buy within her budget and then ask them for have instead of not getting involved at all and leaving it all to them.

OP said they do it on this week every year, I agree that means an agreement should have been made first to avoid this situation, but why should she have done it because he didn't engage his brain?

I haven't bought our uniform yet and I don't have to coordinate with anyone 🤷🏼‍♀️

Same here, but then I don't get new uniform just because its the start of a new school year, I get it when needed.

Ah, ours haven't worn uniform since the start of the pandemic, so we definitely need it!

Lol, trousers half master up their legs!

Grrr, auto correct!

50/50 but you were daft not to have anticipated that this might be a problem. I'd suggest you split what items you buy rather than splitting the entire cost.
