Property sale and rental income??

Rach56red

Hello,

I’m new to posting here although read the forums a lot.

I currently receive £62 per week from my sons father.  I have myself paid for childcare bills in excess of £1000 per month. He is now 7 and I’ve paid almost £50k in childcare to date. 

my question is that his father uses his full time jobs salary to work out that he has to pay £62 per week. He buys property and sells them at a profit and also has had a rental property in that time. This income has never been taken into account. I struggle to pay childcare bills and have some debt because of it yet his father makes £100k on a property sale and my son has no benefit of this. The rental income is around £10k per year also. 

It doesn’t seem right I have to struggle and pay all of this myself and he openly tells me what he has bought and sold yet there’s no offer of support and I feel bad asking for it as I did in the beginning and got told no. 

Any advice is appreciated. 

Thanks

Thanks. I have used this but can you include rental income and property sale profits?

Are you using the CMS for maintenance payments? If you are then rental income can be included in the calculation from them but you may have to ask for a variation.

Can't help with the property sale profits though. This may help. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2012/9780111526132/contents
