LabelChild M baseline scenario 3rd income variation :Q701
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) Now imagine that in this family the father's income is (£3,000/£1,000/£1,000/£3,000/£3,000/£1,000/£1,000/£1,000) per month but the (mother's/new husband's) is (£900/£2,200/£2,200/£900/£1,000/£3,000/£3,000/£1,000) 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?)
