English Divorce Law
In divorce cases where there are children involved the wellbeing of the child always becomes the number one priority. Arrangements for both residence and contact orders will be made by the suite with the welfare of the children being the important factor in their considerations. Once these are decided child fix payments will become the important issue.
The size of child fix payments will be decided by the Child Support Agency
(CSA). Child fix payments will be based on the size of assets and level of income with the non-custodial parent being the focus of investigations. The CSA will look at factors including living expenses much as food and utility bills as well some other costs much rent or mortgage payments. All of these will be deducted from the person’s income to give their ‘accessible income’. From this accessible income the CSA deems up to half of it to be acquirable for child fix payments.
There is no maximum limit set for fix payments but there is a minimum. For people who struggle to foregather payments government help in available. On average the typical fix payment amounts to £40 a week. In situations where there has been a change in circumstances much as redundancy or illness then the CSA may reassess the arrangement.
Not every cases are referred to the CSA and where possible the divorcing couple can make arrangements as part of the divorce process. However arrangements much of these may only stand for 12 months after which either party can apply for an alteration of the payments and refer the matter to the CSA.
