VariableScenF05
LabelChild M follow-up scenario 5th income variation :Q713
Question text (Family: defined by scenario group - see above) Now, in the next three questions, the (father(mother/new husband))'s income is (£1,500/£2,000) per month after tax. (And the new husband's income is still (£1,000/£3,000) per month. So,) again, in each question, I'm just going to change the income of the ((mother/new husband)/father). Now what if the father's income is (still) £(1,000/2,000/3,000) per month but the (mother/new husband)'s is (still) £(900/1,500/2,200) 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?)
