Could my 3y.o. daughter own 5% of a house in my trust under 18?

She claims that she opens the CMS case to be able to have the payment counted towards her revenues and help to secure a bigger mortgage.

Hey pal, I already told you:
1: the CMS won't touch it if you're making payments
2: it doesn't count as income
3: she's getting terrible asvice from someone0 -
But a home for you and your daughter. Your ex needs to look after herself.
If she can't, your daughter should live with someone who can, ie you!0 -
Indeed. I think we are at cross purposes here. I was referring to previous CSA rules where any voluntary payment was not considered as maintenance. Apologies.
I'm still perplexed as to why the OP sees fit to help buy his ex a home.
Madness.
Agreed!
And no worries, there's always something changing.0 -
Maybe in your eyes, there could be a myriad of reasons most likely being that his daughter has a decent secure place to live and more importantly it's not any of our business
With all due respect you're talking garbage.
The op has a duty to provide a safe haven for his daughter when in his care. Not to purchase his ex partner a property.0 -
Apologies if it end up merging the other thread. I did not mean to.
So how does that work? She says that they will contact me directly to tell me how much I have to pay? Before starting a case, will they ask me if I am making a monthly payment?1: the CMS won't touch it if you're making payments
I currently based my payment on my 14/15 gross income (- pension) and was planning to adjust next year based on my 15/16 gross income (-pension).
N.b.: I expect 15/16 to be 30% higher or so, hence why I guess she is not happy with the current amount.
She has had terrible advice on many things and the fact that is depressive is not helping either3: she's getting terrible asvice from someone

However, the more I think about the fact that she opened a CMS case against me despite the monthly payment, the more I think I should stick to the legal approach and if she wants part of my deposit to be in trust, then she should take me to court.
I am really struggling with deciding what is right or wrong and what I should be doing next

You're over compensating. And your ex is taking advantage.
Secure your own future first. That way your daughter will be fine.0 -

Your very keen to get children away from their mothers, there is nothing to suggest the mother is incapable of looking after the child.
Not going to ruin the ops post by getting into a debate with you but you seem to be on a mission to separate children from their mothers.
Back to the op........0 -

Excuse me?!
That's a big claim. I said that the parent who can give the child the best care should do so. If that's the mother then great, if that's the father then great.
Don't start throwing accusations around though.0 -

base it on your current wage and you can't go wrong.
They only seek enforcement when required.0
