I just think the current CMS system has a few flaws.
I won’t be successful in changing spousal maintenance, but I feel it should be deducted from my income when calculating child maintenance as I don’t receive all my income....
I might try my local MP and see what happens.
There must be loads of people either claiming variations which I think should be grossed up, and or paying spousal maintenance, so I might also try the petition and hope it attracts attention. ...
Agree figures should be calculated from the net income ... t’is what it is until the law is changed
It did used to be on net income, rather than gross, but the percentages were higher.
im self-employed and CMS use my net income to work out what to pay.
