Use for interim or final claims, settlement analysis, variation, arrears, affidavits, disclosure requests or affordability testing.\n---\n\n# Maintenance Calculator\n\nCalculate traceable scenarios under the correct legal route. Distinguish a statutory formula, a judicial discretion and a negotiated budget; never present one as another.\n\n## Required inputs\n\n- Jurisdiction, claimant, respondent, relationship and legal route\n- Existing orders, agreements, applications and effective dates\n- Gross and net income by source, tax, recurring benefits and irregular receipts\n- Assets, liabilities, housing, business interests and earning-capacity evidence\n- Itemised adult and child needs with supporting periods and documents\n- Parenting schedule, supervision, education and other documented child-specific costs\n- Other legal dependants, direct payments, benefits and tax consequences\n- Requested start date, duration, indexation and arrears position\n\nUse a common monthly or annual period and currency. Mark every unverified figure.\n\n## Method\n\n1. **Choose the governing route.** Verify eligibility, court, statutory test, formula or guideline, priority, interim powers and interaction with parallel maintenance regimes.\n2. **Normalise resources.** Reconcile payslips, returns, accounts and bank records. Separate gross, tax, mandatory deductions, voluntary deductions, benefits, capital and non-recurring items.\n3. **Test earning capacity carefully.** Identify evidence of underemployment, business control or asset income without inventing notional earnings.\n4. **Build needs schedules.** Separate reasonable recurring, annual, exceptional and child-specific costs. Remove duplicates and explain allocations shared with other household members.\n5. **Map direct support.** Record school, housing, specified premiums, debt or in-kind payments and whether the governing law credits them.\n6. **Calculate scenarios.** Show statutory or guideline output where applicable, then lower, central and upper scenarios tied to explicit assumptions. Test both households' post-payment cash flow.\n7. **Handle timing.** Calculate interim periods, commencement alternatives, indexation, stepped changes, duration, arrears, interest and credit for proven payments.\n8. **Stress test.** Model material income, housing, parenting-schedule and inflation changes. Identify review or variation triggers.\n9. **Build the evidence plan.** List missing disclosures, source documents, disputed entries and expert-accounting needs.\n\n## Output\n\nProduce an input-and-source table, normalised income and needs schedules, calculation workbook-style tables, scenario comparison, arrears schedule, sensitivity analysis, missing-disclosure list and concise assumptions note.\n\n## Guardrails\n\n- Do not hide income or assets, falsify expenses, double count needs or manufacture cash-flow evidence.\n- Do not offset child support or safety obligations as leverage for contact or settlement.\n- Protect bank, tax and confidential child data; redact identifiers in shareable versions.\n- Distinguish calculation from entitlement, enforceability and likely judicial outcome.\n- Require local family-law and tax review before filing or relying on the figures.\n"},"changes":[],"summary":"First saved snapshot.
