Thanks for the info it’s much appreciated, I don’t trust the CMS after I had a lot of issues with them in the past, I’ll probably just keep things they way they are to save dealing with them again.
I've just stumbled across this article as it looks like a Notional Income Variation will be applied to my circumstances
I am currently unemployed and living off savings interest. I'm not entitled to claim benefits
The CMS have asked me to provide savings statements. I have already sent them my last monthly interest statements for the accounts I hold. Would they go off this rather than applying a flat 8% to the savings capital ?
The other asset I have is a pension fund which I'm not able to draw from until retirement age. Would this be out of scope ?
As an aside to this my ex partner received a divorce settlement of £550k back in 2021 out of which she purchased a house outright for £297k
Despite significant financial assets remaining (unless she has made them disappear) she is claiming benefits and recently put in a claim for legal aid. I can only opine this is fraudulent behaviour
She has no plans to work and obviously prefers to rely on me
I would really be grateful for some advice here. I feel I'm getting screwed over regally
TIA
hi,
according to this, they take savings into account if:
- interest and dividends from savings and investments over £2,500 a year
https://www.gov.uk/how-child-maintenance-is-worked-out/ask-other-income-expenses-included
so if you don't get interest over £2500 per year, then they will not take it into account most likely. you can ring them and ask, or wait for outcome after sending them your statement.
