    I havent included child benefit on this form. You will include it on the court forms though, aren;t you?? You do need to, even though it won't be included in their IPA calculations.

    Child related expenses, you are allowed 1 activity per child per week @ £5 ish (swimming, dancing, music, playgroup)
    School dinners, if relevant.
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear

    You need to add child benefit to you income, don't worry if that takes you over £99 surplus, your suplus will be £99 + £185 before they can take an IPA.
    Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear
  • For 2 adults and 2 children £100 a month for clothing is not alot especially if the kids are very young. I would put £150.
  • Sorry I meant 2 adults and 3 kids
  • OK HERES ANOTHER ONE. DOES THIS LOOK RIGHT NOW?
