Child Maintenance with 50/50

dazzday · 2023-09-19 08:51:21

Im currently paying Child Maintenance of 400e a month which we agreed ourselves. At the moment due to location etc I only have custody every 2nd weekend but looking to move to a 2525 model in the future (so approx 50%). Should i be looking to reduce child maintenance if this the case?

Yes I think so, seeing that you will have them living with you more often, thus will be feeding them, paying for incidentals etc.
Does your ex work and earns the same as you, if so then it would only be fair.

It depends. I have access ~40/60 and am paying €100/week. But my income is higher. The money is for the kid.
