Hi
Could any one give me any advise on travel costs, as my case is being reviewed. Can I claims a discount for travelling to collect my kids. I drive approximately 45 miles at week collecting them and dropping them off, so would say £10 per would this be taken into to consideration when my payments are calculated.
Many thanks
Yeah, I thought this but its on the gross, not the net you know....
In the end the ex drops off once per week and I do rest I just take it on the chin, shitty I know.
You'll end up with about £5 a week if they grant it
The worse thing about all this is my eldest is off to uni next year and I was hopping to help her out and to having to sit down and explain to he that I can't, because of the changes in the maitinace for her brother an sister.
I've always tried my hardest not to bring her mother into it. But how can I not in this situation. Before anyone comments about speaking to her monther there is not point as its all about money with her.
Any news? did you contact CMS?
There was no point in the end, as the whole thing has now become a bit of a nightmare. As said in previous post the ex is all about money so has now limited my contact with my other two, so she can claims more nights stay thus extra money. The CMA wont take a word I say with regards to correct number of nights stay, so cant claim the travel. It look as if it win win for her.
Appealing at present but doubt the will do me any good, as CMA don't seem to want to listen to the non resident parent, even with evidence. :boohoo:
