Short answer
Parents may agree child maintenance; otherwise the court decides based on the child’s essential needs and the actual financial position. Promising one fixed amount or an unvarying salary percentage for every child is incorrect.
Practical example
The child has regular medical and educational expenses. A supported calculation makes the claim more concrete than simply naming a desired amount.
What to do
Prepare a monthly budget covering food, housing, education, health and other necessities. Gather receipts and available parental income information.
Points to consider
Unemployment does not automatically remove the maintenance duty, although the amount depends on the facts.
