Hi
I am a non resident parent with an open case on CMS, currently paying to a child from previous relation.
me and current partner with whom I have a second child jointly acquired a flat via mortgage.
How is that going to affect my case with CMS? What may change? Do I have to declare this to CMS?
if I become unemployed can CMS repossess my house even though is a joint mortgage?
Hi,
No CMS can not make claims on a property that you live in. No need to declare.
Some info on asset variation: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-7773/
I assume CMS are aware of your second child? That will reduce the maintenance you have to pay.
@actd
they are aware but didn’t took it in consideration as she does not receive Child Benefit ( her mother has high income therefore not elegible according to CMS, however still under investigation)

I've just done a quick calculation using the CMS calculator based on £35k per year (seemed a reasonable figure), with zero overnights, and that gives a monthly payment of £348 if you have no dependant children living with you, and that drops to £310 per month for one dependant child living with you. You definitely need to chase that up.
