[Solved] Does my payments reduce when my ex partner is pregnant with her new partner?

You can reduce the maintanence if you agree between yourselves, but if you question this, all she will do is go to the CMS, and they will not take into account that she is pregnant, you will still pay the same amount.

The best thing to do is to get yourself on the CMS calculator and work out how much you will be paying via them. If you are already paying more than what the calculator comes back with then look to adjust accordingly. If you are paying less than the CMS then I would stay quiet.

This is one of the problems with maintenance, there is no liability on the mother to prove where your money is spent.

Thanks for your reply. I pay 2 mutual agreements in total (different mums ).
The other mum A, gets less than the mum B, the one in question - as I get to see, my child from mum A every weekend where as its every 2nd with my child from Mum B. So I suggested, that the mum in question, gets the same amount as mum A but I purchase clothes or anything else that's required with the difference. But that got shot down in flames.

Sounds like Mum B is being very unreasonable and wants as much as she can get out of you.

I would still work out the CMS payments. If the CMS payments show that you should be paying Mum B less than you already are, open up a case with them. Please bare in mind though that they may use last years, or even the years before tax figure. So if you earnt alot in wither of those years, expect it to be higher.

Yep, she always has been. I have contacted CMS in the past, and they would have to bring Mum A into it as well and make it one case rather than just one separate case, where she would get paid a little less as well as Mum B would. I have no issues with Mum A as my child from that relationship is in there teens now plus she isn't as complicated as Mum B is.
I have told Mum B that if she requires anything for our child when the maintenance for her has been spent on other stuff, not to turn to me as I have already paid my way.

With the CSA you would of had to bring the other mother into it, but with the CMS you don't need to . They will verify the existence of the other child through child benefit checks without contacting Mum A. You can say that you have a private arrangement with Mum A, and they wont require you to give any details of how much you pay etc.

I would still check the CMS calculator and see if you are paying mum B too much.

Checked with the calculator, using it as if I am only paying for one child. It works out the same as what I'm already paying.

If you have 2 children, then put this in to the calculator. The results that come back will be split between the 2 mums. If you are only putting one child in, then this will equate to 12% of your gross salary. With 2 children it will be 16%, but this will be split in half. Essentially 8% to each mother.

Sounds like you are being done over by mother B and are paying more than you should.
