Maintenance Payments
I split with my daughters father 3 years ago. Each month he pays me �200 without fail. I want to know if people in a similar situation i.e. without CSA involvement actually up the payment annually? He has a very good job and I am not out to bleed him dry, we get on great, daughter is happy etc etc. But it is always us (husband and I ) who pay for the additions i.e. ballet, holidays, swimming lessons etc. Do you think asking for say a 10% annual increase would be unreasonable?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If your daughters father pays towards schooling (uniform) and clothes and the �200.00 - Thats okay.. CSA is horrid and unfair. Your new husband took on your daughter, knowing the extra costs? If your working and your partner, no, I don't think you should as for more... you get child credit and working credit (I guess) how much more do you wish to get... I'm a mother, but when partners split, woman always get everything and get greedy. The father has got to live too !
