FAMILY LIFE

How has the cost of living crisis affected divorce maintenance payments?

T

he cost of living crisis continues to place many families’ finances under significant strain. This strain is often most keenly felt in the finances of separated families. Individuals who are required as part of their divorce settlement to pay spousal maintenance may be struggling to meet those obligations on top of rising bills and increased mortgage payments.

Many spousal maintenance orders are also index linked which means that they should be varied on an annual basis in line with inflation.

It is easy to see how any significant increase in monthly maintenance payments can easily

familiesonline.co.uk

become unaffordable if an individual’s salary has not risen at the same level.

If you find yourself in this situation what can you do?

First, try to see if you can agree a reduction or an uplift that is affordable for you in the longer term, directly with your former spouse.

You will need to provide evidence of your income to prove that you have not received

a pay increase in line with inflation and you should also provide full information relating to your monthly expenditure to show that the currents payments and any annual increase is unaffordable.

Developing skills for good performance

Supporting your child’s memory retention

By Gail Hugman

By Erin Miller

Many parents worry about their children underachieving or not reaching the expected level by the time they leave primary school or sit 11+ exams.

But there is good news. By developing your child’s skills it may be easier to improve their performance than you think.

Does your child struggle to remember things they have learnt at school? Cognitive science can help us to understand how our children’s brains work and how they will learn best, as remembering involves storing information in their long-term memory.
