Hi - hope everyone is well. I have a question relating to the new CMS rules that are due to come into force (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/children-to-benefit-from-changes-to-child-maintenance-service)
Anyone know when these might come into effect and what is meant practically by 'unearned' income? I'm a high earner who pays a great deal to my ex, only to see her spend most of it on herself. The idea now that they may also look at my savings and pay her even more is really tough to take. Can that be true or is it more of a case that people with very low earnings/ people living just off their savings will be looked at in this way?
Any insight would be useful - thanks
