in IVA & DRO
I never knew about DRO and was thinking of going bankrupt.
my question is about what expenses is realistic.
I have 4 daughters 15, 12, 9 and 3.
I pay £590 PM CSA.
I also have them 2/3 days per week.
so what's a realistic clothes budget, shopping budget, pocket money.
just want to get the process started but also need to keep within the £50 surplus

The way to get the ball rolling is to get an appointment with an intermediary - stepchange and Citizens Advice do most of them. If the intermediary isn't happy to put you forward for a DRO then you still have your bankruptcy option - and you don't need anyone's help as that's just an online process.
I have the kids but because I work nights I don't have them overnight loads so that's how she claims more through csa as they only go off how many nights, not how many times a week you feed them ect.
also I buy clothes for mine and she buys for hers
