Hi all,
I pay £200 a month maintenance to my ex for my son (12 yrs old). This is an arrangement that has been in place for nearly 10 years, however is not a maintenance order and the CSA has never been involved. It can be proved by my bank statements and I really do not want my ex or son to know i am going BR. Is maintenance payments acceptable expenditure even if not a court order?
Also i have read different reports on whether birthdays / xmas is accepted by the OR, can anybody confirm this for me please.
Thanks |

Hi Hammy,
On the SOA, there is a section to list dependants that don't live with you. Here is where you can re-state the £200 payment as well as in the expenditure section. Given the relatively small sum, I would suggest you'll be fine.

I have seen both birthdays and christmas allowances accepted by OR's examiners under bankrutpcy proceedings - so if you don't ask you don't get!
For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com |

Hi Hammy - there is a space on the SOA for maintenance so I reckon it must be! You have proof with your bank statements should the OR need it and your ex and son would not need to know.
My understanding is that birthdays/xmas are not an expense you can list but something you pay for out of your disposable income.
