Child maintenance

[Sophie141]

Me and my child’s dad are separating. We own a house together and he earns x3 times more than me. Even if we share our child 50/50 he would still have to pay me £300 a month because he’s a high earner (according to child maintenance calculator) I just wondered what is reasonable to expect from him financially?
I want him to pay half the mortgage (as it’s his house/investment and he doesn’t want to sell it but is willing to move out so I can stay here)
I also want him to pay half childcare
I also want home to pay half the council tax (because it’s a lot)
Then I would take on all the bills in the house and anything our daughter needs we would share the cost as we go but I tend to buy more of her clothes and toys which I don’t mind.
I thought the £300 (child maintenance) on top of that might be too much?
I should say we have a good relationship/friendship and he wants 50/50 custody which is totally fine but I doubt he will actually have her 50/50 in reality. He is also a very caring and generous man and I don’t want to ‘take the piss’ so I just wondered what people think is fair? Any one been through this and have anything to share?

So he would have 50/50 custody, then pay half your mortgage, half your council tax, half the childcare bill during your time, half of all direct child costs and then £300 maintenance on top?
I mean, obviously we have no idea of the details of your relationship and finances but that is a lot of money when he still has to cover his own housing and bills to have your DD half the time too. Is that even affordable for him?
How does it work if you meet someone new, would he still pay for half your housing?

That sounds ambitious, is he making enough to support two houses?

So he wants to go to an interest only mortgage which I’m fine with so the payments would be low. Im also training so I’ll earn more in 2-3 years but finances alone are an issue for me right now.
irrelevant if I met someone else as that’s not the case right now and we need an arrangement right now, if that happened we would re assess.
he won’t have a second mortgage to pay for at least a year as he he is buying land and building a house which is done through some sort of special loan that you start paying once the house is built.

He’ll also be living mortgage free in the mean time
