Hi im new on here and my apologies if this has been asked before
i was divorced back in 2011 and was granted shared residence but it was not a 50/50 split. I had my daughter every other weekend and one day in the week overnight.
As time and years went on the ex slowly allowed a total 50/50 split with overnights. She is actually with me more then her as shr comes on each school day and stays for a few hours on the days ahe should be with the ex.
Now i have been paying £238 a month on what the csa set me years ago but that was based on only the nights mrntioned above. About 5 years ago the csa left it to us and i pay her a direct debit. I didnt argue the case before but surely ss it is a total 50/50 split should i still br paying considering we go 50/50 on things like if she has a school trip abroad, tuition and driving lessons.
According to the government website i still should give her £80 a month based on calculations but iv also heard the law has changed and i dnt need to.
Really confused as i dont want another battle but if im paying when i should not have to(for many years) then i just need confirmation if anyone can kindly help
hi,
According to CMS rules, there is no maintenance to pay if you have equal day to day care of kids.
