Hi,
i have a 30/70 child arrangements order that has worked for 2 years. I have been having my Son more and more and noted the nights i have had him. I am easily having him 40% of the time. My Son is asking if it can be 50/50 with his Mum, i am happy to do this but i also pay £300 per month to her through CMS, my wages have dropped around £7k per annum but not enough for the CMS to reduce. I want to go back to the family court and get a 50 50 arrangement with no CMS and my son who is 12 wants this to happen. What would the process be and will i likely get the outcome i want. I am sure at 12 he has his own mind etc.
hi,
if your seeking 50/50 equal care, then you can apply with c100 online form to vary order. if you can request cafcass to speak to child to find out their views, then you have higher likelihood of getting 50/50 order.
you would have to attend a miam mediation appointment before submitting c100 form.
ideally you want an order that states child lives with both parents, and there is equal day to day care.
