In a former life I worked in CSA (Now defunct) and specifically in the legal and collections team. Co. Directors were notoriously difficult to assess and pursue for maintenance. The vagaries of how income is structured and the options available meant that if you had someone very determined it was incredibly difficult. Having said that I got the impression that this was only feasible for those who ran their limited as a way of preventing the PWC getting their hands on it. Trying to run a company in the best way for business was not aligned with running it to hide earnings. The calculation takes account of income as someone mentioned - including wage, commission, dividends etc. and there are limits for pension contributions and other essential costs to taken into account. The most economically sound way to reduce maintenance is as mentioned shared care. Though a relationship as described probably doesn't lend itself to shared care being all that feasible. Having heard some absolute horror stories over the years my advice to anyone navigating it would be if there's a way to be amicable, find it. In a really bitter dispute neither side is ever happy with the situation in my experience, those that feel hard done to and those that are dishing it out.

Interestingly this is what the chancellor said absolutely couldn't be done in order to provide coronavirus support income for contractors and other people paid via dividend income. So it's workable when you pay money out, just not if you're to receive any.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
