LabelChild M follow-up scenario 1st income variation :Q709
Question text (Family: defined by scenario group - see above) In the next three questions, I want you to imagine a situation where the ((mother/new husband)s /fathers) income is £900 per month after tax. In each question, I'm just going to change the income of the (father/(mother/new husband)). So, firstly, imagine that in this family the father's income is £(1,000/2,000/3,000) per month, and the (mother/new husband)s is £(900/1,500/2,200) per month: (Remember, here as in all the following questions, her husband's income is £(1,000/3,000).) 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?
