How many people/children in the house? I'm guessing 2 adults and one grown up child paying board?0

You don't put your OH's liabilities on your SoA, and you don't put their whole income, just their contribution to the shared household bills only.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

The turquoise is really hard to read

Is the car in your OH's name? If it is and you don't use it for work you don't put the costs down on your I&E, the car won't come into your BR at all.
The OR isn't interested in your OH's salary, so you need to take off the salary, and only put down his contribution to the rent, utilties, food, house insurance, pet insurance etc. His contribution should be aroung £550 ish
It the child maintenance your or your OH's child?
Is it only you going BR?Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
