Hi mate, you don't really get shafted in family Law ( though it does seem that way) its a case of the Judge decideing what is right and proper, concidering your income in relation to your ex partner etc.
You can get a list from the Law society, then ask around for recomendations,( call criminal firms and ask who they would use etc) or you could contact a Farthers group to see who's considered the best in your area.

Having someone shit hot prob won't help alot with maintainance, but could help if contact issues become a prob.

I stoped working in law a long time, but we had the best family lawyer in the area, and people were being recomended to use by other firms all the time, so asking around does work.

if you have not organised and agreed to a maintenance payment scheme, then the good ole CSA will do it on means testing, so the more disposable income you have, the more you pay.

As for CSA, my ex pays me nothing a week for 5 kids.

Cheers chaps,

Well i was told by her that she will be after £600 a week as that is what she is entitled too. Like i said before its just nuts for a 3 year old, and at the end of the day she will have more from me in 2 weeks tax free than the average person in the uk gets a month

If an adult is on the dole they get approx £50 a week, i just dont see how they can justify it.

The isle of man is looking very tempting

sounds like you definatley need a good solicitor, don't expect to be paying little if you are earning good money though, but she would have to justify also, that she NEEDS £600 a week, I would guess she would be hard pushed to make it feasable for £600 a month....

I run a home, a car and 5 kids on less than £600 a child a month, if I got that, I would be sorted BIG TIME

As said above it is down to the judge sitting, I work for a large Family Law practice in Kent and have sat in on these hearings a few times, whilst both sides either through solicitors or by themselves will put their side across, I have found that judges tend to be extremely fair in their judgements and usually are able to ignore the BS from the legal teams.
At the end of the day the maintenance will be decided on your level of income, therefore a guy on £60K will pay a lot more than someone on £25K it all goes on your disposable income, you decided to have a child together and if you were living together you wouldn't begrudge them the money, why should that change because you have split up?
Any order given can be varied after a year, but only if your circumstances have changed.
So if you don't want to pay that much then you could always go on the dole
Good Luck!

Carl, she must have had her name on the deeds and helped with the mortgage etc.

I dont begrudge giving my daughter anything, if i knew the 2400 a month would be spent on her i would give it to her but im sure everyone can see that it will not be spent purely on her.

I have a ltd Company so profits are my companies and not mine so if i pay myself just 3k a month for the mortgage is she still entitled to anything as i have no disposable income?

If this is not possible i can move my company to a tax haven if needs be.
