child maintenance calculations how are they calculated.....whos salaries are included? is the spose of my ex included as well as my ex and mine?
Child maintenance is calculated using the absent parents net income, the number of children and the a deduction if the children stay with the absent parent for more than 52 nights per year. There is also a deduction if the paying parent has children in their household. Here is a link to the CSA calculator https://secureonline.dwp.gov.uk/csa/v2/en/calculate-maintenance.asp and on the same page you can download an information guide explaining all about how the calculation is done and factors taken into account.

we already knew that but the law changed???
The calculator and guide on the CSA website sets out the current position. There was a new statute last year but as I said the calculator provides an up to date idea of what should be paid. The guide is issued by the CSA and explains how current assessments are carried out, they are based on the non-resident parents salary only. Regards Joanne
