They will ask for her income details (not obliged to give them) as this is to ascertain if the NRP can pay the amopunt (if any due). If she works though then your friend wouldn't get the full 100% of housing costs against his wage as it would be assumed that the partner is contributing to the rent.

would it be better of partner earns a higher salary and opt out of disclosing her salary? My bookkeeper who does our PAYE & salaries mentioned about putting income thru his partner salary.

Will they be eligible for tax credits? How long have they been out the country?

Dont know enough about tax credits, they havn't returned to the UK yet.

There's every chance that CSA wouldn't be due for his eldest anyway as she may have left school (dunno if he keeps in touch)

I dont think they are in touch, it was a bitter and protracted split and he was done by the CSA pretty bad.

I think this is called a departure on CS1? I'm sure kelloggs will phrase it better than me!

Would like to know more. This fits with the line of thought my bookkeeper is saying, put partner on PAYE.

Donedoingdebt is correct in respect of the housing costs. If he was awarded no housing costs (unlikely) under a departure, then he would be expected to pay about £40 per week - that is assuming partner works full time and earns lots of money.

But if the partner is working do they not assume that they contribute towards the rent? And surely in this case it's obvious that no one could survive providing for 2 adults and a small toddler whilst shelling out 70% of wage on rent alone.

Or does the NRP automatically get 100% housing costs and it's up to the PWC to apply for a departure if they suspect/know 2 wages are in the household?

for 30 hrs a weeek its about £9 an hour and the national min wage is about £6. Its still considerably less for this area, nobody can get by easily in East London on £9 before tax. My name is nothing to do with a football club BTW.

Is that £40 a week support, or £40 a week allowance to pay his rent?

Round here in E14 a single person room is over £100 a week. I was surprised to see him looking at £659 a month for all three, albeit very simple accommodation and no views over the docks etc.

I dont think partner will work f/t because childcare is unaffordable. Its only available to high wealth residents or a key-worker e.g. a teacher police officer or a nurse.

I believe kelloggs is giving the maintenance figure payable assuming the NRP was given no housing costs allowance which, as she stated, is unlikely. So basically, that is a worst case scenario figure.

Thanks for all your input everyone, looks like I can have my favourite bartender back.
