Hello
New here so looking for advice please.
I have been in a relationship (married) where I have had to do part time jobs to support my wife in her career, now that she has made it and got a fantastic job that pays very well she now wants a divorce, this meaning I have had to move out into rented accommodation, I have 2 children aged 9 and 6 and now she saying she going to claim CM, the problem I have is my wages just cover the bills and I am left with hardly anything after I pay for food, I will have the children at weekends for at least one night as I work nights in week.
So my question is will I still have to pay for CM even though I have no money and my wife has a fantastic wage.
I am paying for after school club but can't afford anything else as my job is low earning due to doing part time work overs the years to support her career.
Thanks for Advice
John
hi,
you would still have to pay CMS as its based on earnings. it will be a low rate for you.
I recommend you join this support group for paying parents, very useful:
