    FCMP222/2016

    The provisional maintenance order was varied from GBP750 to GBP645 per month based on an assessment that allocated the child's share of general household expenses and direct child expenses and apportioned liability (father to pay 90% of the child's share), backdated to 3 November 2014 until the child reached age 17 or ceased full‑time education; the respondent's failure to make full and frank disclosure negatively affected credibility and led to a costs direction (costs to follow the event, assessment adjourned).
