Perhaps it is too confusing working out tax credits/child benefit for those who aren't the main carer's.

Should be simple.
Her entitlement is 5/7ths of the calculation for her circumstances.

Mine would be 2/7ths of my calculation


In my mind it does make divorce these days a career option!
I know there's lots of sour grapes and debates, but the benefits side seems very unfair!

Thank you for your responses though - does confirm that that is the way it is, and i've not missed a trick.

Apply for full custody then you know all your money (and I mean ALL) is being spent on the child....chocolate stains are a nightmare to get out of silk mind but surely worth it?;)

After all, if you can't beat them then join then surely?

It's easy to get stains out of clothes, I do my own laundry you know , and if you want any tips on how to get 'accident' stains out, ask via PM

Why don't you ask her for £5.71pw then if it's bothering you so much?

That's 2/7 of the £20pw Child Benefit

It's the principle! All these £5.71's add up!
