Question text (Family: - 8 year old boy - Parents married for 10 years, now divorced - Boy lives mostly with mother, sees father twice in week and stays overnight once at the weekend) In the next three questions, I want you to imagine a situation where the (father's/mother's/mother's new husband's) income is (£900/£2,200/£1,000/£3,000) per month after tax. In each question, I'm just going to change the income of the mother/father. So, firstly, imagine that in this family the father's income is (£1,000/£3,000/£1,000/£3,000/£1,000/£3,000/£1,000/£3,000) per month, and the (mother's/mother's new husband's) income is (£900/£2,200/£900/£2,200/£1,000/£3,000/£1,000/£3,000) per month: How much child maintenance do you think (the father should be required/it is fair to expect the father) to pay the mother each month?
