Child maintenance help

Hi, I have a daughter aged 11. When I split up with her dad he went onto have 3 more children by two other mothers (so he has four children by three woman) he is no longer with any of these woman! He earns 35k per year. How much maintenance should he be paying? I've looked on the online calculator but it doesn't have the scenario of different kids by different mothers. Thank you in advance

I think it will go down as 3+ children and then split between the mothers accordingly. So from the amount he needs to pay, one mum will get money for two children and the others will get money for one child each. The amount of nights he sees each child might be different too which just complicates it even more. I’ve never had to deal with this so I might be wrong.
