What exactly does my maintenance cover?

Ignore her threats of going to court to get you to pay for all childcare costs. Its empty threats as CSA ( or whatever its called now) are responsible for setting rates of cm and unless as Fiona states you earn more than £3k a week a court wouldn''t be interested.

Thanks MrsMathsisfun (if I have typed that correctly)

I did assume that it was a useless threat, but on looking at the .gov/scotland website, trying to find definitive answers is an absoloute nightmare.

If I earned +3K per wk, I would be happy to facilitate her wishes as the finances would be there.

At some point though, enough has to be enough.

Thanks again

Social welfare isn''t devolved so you will find information about statutory child maintenance scheme and tools to help parents throughout the UK on the CM Options website rather than the Scottish Government site.
