I would advise her that if she intends moving that far away, you will deduct the extra travel costs from the maintenance (but not below the CSA limit).

In fact the CSA do reduce payments if there is a very high travel cost of contact, but not I think when the NRP moved away from the original home area.

You might want to ask on the Child Support sub-forum. There are a couple of people there who can quote chapter and verse.

That's another complication, I have not moved, I am still in the family home, she moved out to be with her new partner, and now they want to move to Glasgow. So any additional costs are purely because of her planned move.

That wasn't the purpose of the thread, I would pay anything to see my daughter, I was just wondering what would be fair to counter offer as my wife was expecting more than full maintenance and me to take on all extra costs as well for her move and her affair.

Oh, I realised that from your original post which made the situation and your question while clear. It wasn't my intention to sound critical or combative. It's just that this is an issue very close to my heart, that's all. Sorry, for dragging in irrelevancies.

Yikes! Setting aside "blame" or any other negative emotions this sounds, how can I put this politely, rather "optimistic" at the very least on her part?
