My former partner wants a financial contribution on behalf of our children, do I have to pay?

Schedule 1 of the Children’s Act allows for a parent to seek financial support for their children from the “non-resident” parent. This includes regular payments of child maintenance but can also extend to providing a house for the child and paying other expenses such as school fees.

For high net worth clients, Schedule 1 claims can be lengthy and costly. We will help you minimise the amount you have to pay. In particular, we will ensure that the award is wholly focused on what your child needs – and not an attempt by your ex to get you to subsidise their lifestyle. We understand that you want to contribute to your child, but not to simply be an open chequebook for your former partner.

Vardags specialise in family law, and are perfectly placed to advise you. We understand how a Schedule 1 claim can affect a high earner and can help you find a pragmatic outcome which works for you and your child.
