My ex is taking our 17 year old daughter away for a fortnight

madlozza

can he cut my money in half? is he legally entitled?

i would have expected so ....if it were me

CMAC_2

no he cant. Maintenance is paid to the PWc to keep the infastructor of the child in place ie gas electric etc.

madlozza

Can you point me in the right direction to find that info on a government site or something? He says he is entitled to do it. I'd like to be able to quote chapter and verse to him

It matters not, the CSA will come to him for the money if it is tried. The assesment is for 52 weeks a year, end of.

im sorry for this BUT, as he will be providing for your daughter for two weeks, why should he give you money???

Are you paying for her food bill for 2 weeks?

Caz3121

do you have an assessment through the CSA or a private arrangement?

Except virtually none of them will relate to the "child" while they are on holiday.

The OP's question can only really be answered if we know whether the CSA are already involved.

Which for that 2 weeks the child will not have contributed to.

I would like to know exactly what costs the mother will incur for the child whilst they are on the 2 week holiday with their father.
Food
Gas
Electricity
Water
Mortgage/Rent
Telephone
Council Tax
Clothing
All no, so what else is there?

This is another case of he mother trying to take cash for herself and not the child.
