Hi Guys

Do you know what child maintenance I would get monthly off my partner ?

He warns 72000 per year, we have two kids and he will have them two nights a week ( possibly three )

Regards

other parent 72000 (edited as had assumed and put 'him')
2 to 3 nights a week
no other children

Your estimated child maintenance calculation
£141.13 a week or £611.20 a month
Based on the information you gave us, the Child Maintenance Service would calculate this as the estimated amount you should receive from the other parent.
This amount will be less if the other parent has to pay maintenance for children they have with someone else.
This calculation is an estimate - it does not guarantee how much you will get if you make a child maintenance application. If you use the Child Maintenance Service, there may be other things we take into account that can make this amount higher or lower.
