Child Maintenance

[cleowasmycat]

Hi,

We currently have a private arrangement based on gov calculations. My ex has now said his girlfriend and her two children may move in and he is also going to voluntarily increase his pension contributions dramatically so maintenance will reduce. Is this right? I'm struggling as it is!

All advice appreciated.

I support the millionaire demanding maintenance from someone earning less. Money in the bank doesn’t absolve you of the responsibility of supporting your children. Where is the line?

And I despair at the ‘might not be able to pay the rent scenario. No one has given a flying fuck as to whether I can pay the rent and keep the roof over the children’s heads in nearly 12 years. Why should NRP be exempt from that?

My dh payments to his ex were suggested to lower when he moved in with me as I had a dc.. He didn't lower it.
Even when we had our own dd and one on way. He will continue to pay what he does.. His doesn't change as his salary is the same yearly...
Cms are always telling him he should pay less. Its silly but most will.
My ex did. His lowered when he moved in with his now DW.

@IWillJustKeepQuietThen Imagine your post the other way round. A parent with care saying her maintenance assessment increased, but she continued to take only the original amount. People would be calling her daft.
