Are student loan repayments included in CMS calculations?

[giraffe123]

I am thinking of paying off my student loan with some money I have saved as it will make my monthly living situation a lot more comfortable, however there is a very real chance I will be going through CMS or some sort of legal proceedings in the near future due to a dispute with my children's mother.

If I pay off my student loan, is there a chance that I will have to make higher child maintenance payments as my net income will be higher?

I don't think so.

It's based on gross taxable earnings not net

You should be okay. As per Roblox, it looks at gross earnings. I remember all of this, when calculating Child Maintenance after separating with my ex-wife.

If you have savings though, you might need them to get a Child Arrangements order as it's looking like you might need one, from your other posts.
