How much shall we give her??

My partner pays his ex 150 a month for one child. And we have her a couple evenings a week for dinner and every other weekend. If he is paying 150 a month for 3 kids that is really cheap. That won't hardly cover anything for all 3 children. My sd gets brought loads here and has all her own stuff here

If you’re based in the UK it might be worth using the Child Maintenance calculator- that’ll give you a rough idea of what your partner would be expected to pay if they went through them (although it sounds like you have a private agreement just between yourselves atm??). It’ll depend on what he’s paid as well but worth checking to see if you’re in the right ballpark with it

My partner pays just over £500 a month for 2 children and he has them 2 nights a week. Its not rle a matter of if u think its too much unfortunately the best thing to do it put his salary into the calculator online and it asks for how many children and how many times a week u have then over night etc and it will tell u what he would have to pay if it went through the csa 🤷🏼‍♀️ if its less than £150 then in theory he could pay leas but it rle dpends on his salary. We also have all our own clothes, uniform and stuff here for them that we buy and we do struggle month to month but nothing we can do xx

Yeah but doesn’t it go off your income as well?

They dont take into account your income only his

I think 150 is really reasonable for 3 kids but there is a calculator that you can put in his income and the number of children he has, children at home etc and it will give you an amount - this is what the courts would base it off if it were to go down that route

My partner pays £160 a month for 2 kids (and we have one at home) plus half of anything they need for school such as uniforms, snacks, trips etc and they stay with us 3-4 nights a week and we have our own clothes and things x

Thankyou. I’ve just gone on it and for his income he should pay 136quid a month x

We have partners little one a couple times a week overnight and for the day and buy him clothes etc but he still pays her £250 a month and we have a little one between us too
It’s literally based off income unfortunately because we always say £250 for one child is a lot when we have him a few times a week as well xxx

My partner pays £250 to his ex wife for his boys and £150 to his daughters mum, we have 2 boys together that live with us to.

And I’m sure he probably should be a little more - and it seems like a lot to us coming out cx
