Posted - 19 March 2008 : 21:51:41 My wife has been making consistent payments abroad to support her son who is 8 years old and lives with my wife's Mother in the Philippines. She pays £250 per month and makes a payment of £1000 once a year. Would this not be allowed to be included on her income and expenditure when an assessment is made for an IPA/IPO? Obviously she does not have an arrangement through CSA as she pays to the Philippines.

Posted - 20 March 2008 : 08:32:44 Put it under the maintenance section as that is what it is your wife's daughter may be living with her grandmother, but she is still your wife's responsibilty so this will be an allowable expenditure.
Is this the case even if the child is living abroad and the maintenance payments are voluntary and not as part of any court order? Also, should my wife actually put it down under the maintenance income and expenditure section on the statement of affairs or under other spending section?
