    Am I right you've been paying maintenance for 3 children and it's now gone down to two?

    If so, then I think I'm right to say that you would have been paying 25% and will now need to pay 20%. So your assessment isn't dropping by a third but by 5%. You'd still have the allowance 15% (I think) for your son.

    If you calculate the figures does that make sense?
