maintenance

[lil75]

What would you say is the right amount of maintenance money a week for a girl of 13?

I would talk with your daughters mother and find out what she says. Do you have a legal statement from a court to have to pay CM? If you don't, then talk to the childs mother and ask her what she needs for her.

It might be �25 per week, it might be �50, its not easy for me to say

I would say about 50 pounds a week?

15% off their nett income for one child.

Under the new method the basis for calculating maintenance has been simplified, with a fixed percentage of the non-resident parents net income being taken, from 15% for one child, 20% for two, and 25% for three or more. The maintenance was also reduced if the non-resident parent had children in their current family, reducing the payment by 15% if they had one, 20% if they had two, and 25% for three or more

As boogieboogie says but 15% of take home wager per month not per week
