Could anyone please advise. My husband is due to come out of the army very soon and will only have his pension of £12000 before tax to live on. We have worked out that he will be on approxiamately £202 per week. He currently pays over £450 per month maintenance through the csa and he also pays spousal maintenance of an extra £120 per month through the court. Will the csa take into account his huge drop in wages to how much he will pay, also will the court likely reduce his spousal maintenance?

The short answer is yes, the CSA will take into account the large drop in income into account, and he is entitled to request a new assessment - it will still be the usual percentage(15% for one child, 20% for two, and 25% for 3 or more children).

He would need to apply to Court for a downward variation on the SM - but if he is only going to be living on £12k per year, then I can''t see that SM would be payable, due to his rather low income.
