Child tax and working tax

[user1489269570]

I am currently receiving child tax for my kids and my partner works. I did it at as a joint claim, I am getting both benefits in my bank. Now is the working tax credit for him? I kinda feel like I should be keeping it because all he pays for in this household is the rent,£285, he pays for sky £60 and bt £22.
He gets like 18000 a year.
I pay for the food, toiletries, gas, electric, council tax and our sons milk and nappies and toys.
Am I being unfair?

Hmm technically it's 50% of yours for both child tax child and working tax credit.

However with how little he contributes I would keep it and tell him to get payingfor more

You are been shafted by him, he has what about £800 spending money a month, how much do you have?
If he was on his own he would still have rent plus tv package to pay as well as c tax, gas, electricity, food etc. plus paying maintenance for his children.
It is concerning that you are asking if you are being unfair.

I get 270 a week ctc as my little girl has Dla for a year
244 a month for cb
And cms 310 for my 3 kids.
Dla 220 a month ( but I don't include that in my monthly amount.
I have 1 kid with him and pregnant with another of his. But won't be getting ctc for this one.
In total I have 4 kids.

He pays 160 for his other 2 kids from previous relationship

Surely it's all joint money if you have children and live together????

Nothing is joint, he has his bank account and I have mine. We don't halve anything unfortunately

If ive worked this out right.
You make 1600 before dla 2000 after.
He will get less than 1500 so i think it works out fair if he is paying for his other children to.
You should both have equal amounts with what youve said you need to buy with the childrens money etc.

In our relationship me and dh just call all our money joint money which makes life easier.

When you've both paid out all your expenses who is left with the most spare cash. Include transport to and from work and other travel expenses and count child maintenance that he pays out. If one of you is left with a lot more spends than the other then it's unfair.

I don't know how much he has left over, he doesn't go into detail.

If you don't know how much he has after his bills then it's impossible to say what's fair.
