  • These things can be confusing. You know what it means now. 
  • I really appreciate your help today! 
  • Personally I feel that on your take home pay that £330 is a more than reasonable amount.

    Don't pay her any more, let her take you to court.
    Continue seeing your children during the week and at weekends when you can, but let greedy know that no more money is available.
    Maybe if and when she decides to take this further and come out the loser, she will realize that being greedy have consequences.

    I'm sure your children will show their gratitude as they get older!

    I believe I have been over paying on child maintenance. On the calculator I put in gross income and actually it's total taxable income after pension contribution but before tax. So on a salary of £24,970 and taxable income of £11,221, it works out to be £177 per month due not £330. 
    It's totally my fault.
    Does this make sense to anyone?
    So you put £13700 into a pension each year?
    Wouldn't the difference also be Tax free allowance? Currently £12500 for me!
