Can someone help me with a bit of number crunching?

If my ex is earning £18K per year gross from part time employment - which I reckon gives £1250 take home per month, and she is getting circa £800 in maintenance from me; what if any tax credits/child benefit is she going to be receiving, given we have two kids under 20 and she is main carer?

Thanks,

is the maintenance child maintenance? The children would need to be 18 or under and in education that is not tertiary for her to receive child tax credits or child benefit.

There is a benefits checker you can plug the numbers into to get a rough guide.

If what you pay her is child maintenance it would have no effect on any child tax credits she receives - I am not sure if it would affect it if it is spousal maintenance.
