My boyfriend and i are getting married soon. He has a daughter with a woman who he never married. He pays her a set amount every month and she is happy with this. When we become married and money is combined will she be entitled to more? also we are buying a house where i am putting a large deposit on, could this be an issue?

The only thing she is entitled to is money for his daughter, your house and other things have nothing to do with her. Is he paying her through the CSA? If it is just a causual arrangement then she could ask for more money if it hasn't been properly set out. But remember if the CSA get involved I'm sure your husband to be will be made to pay at lot more so try to keep it as amicable as possible with his ex as you really don't want the CSA involved.

Hi Loubag,
This is an interesting one.
His ex would have to go back to court to get the case reviewed and it may go against her if it can be shown that your husbands' outgoings have increased as a result of obtaining a mortgage. Certainly in the first few years of the mortgage.
She might demand that a share of the interests in the property be secured for the daughter in the event of his death. This is an equitable interest on her behalf. This normally includes pensions and any life assurance policies as well.
It can be a complicated area of law.
The main thing is that it is up to his ex to chase these things up.
If she does not know about something you are not obliged to tell her. DONT volunteer information.
Perhaps you should go for custody of the child?
Good luck

I am in the exact same position, we get married in 3 weeks and I have a daughter from a previous relationship.
As long as he is providing for his daughter I don't think his ex is entitled to anything more. I 'lent' my ex my share of the equity in our house, so she wouldn't have to buy me out, she simply took the mortgage over on her own. I then pay her 15% of my net salary each month, she took me to court and only succeeded in making both of us spend a lot of money to Solicitors, they awarded her no more than I had already offered.
My fiance had her own house, we have now bought together, and it has not affected anything.
As long as his daughter has a similar lifestyle she cannot claim more money from him.

you want to seek professional advice loubag, as I actually have a sneaking suspicion that your money will be at risk. I retired from advising on social safe practices regulation 9 years in the past, and that i bear in mind circumstances such as yours the position the wifes capital and earnings is taken under consideration by the youngster help company. yet there is been such fairly some alterations to the regulation in view that then, i will provide no definitive answer. for free (no fee) preparation, bypass to both a debt counsellor, welfare rights company (which includes electorate advice Bureau), or a duty worker such as your community Councils social amenities branch. Or see an perfect family contributors regulation solicitor. Sorry i will no longer help extra useful.....

Why should you pay for someone else's child support
which has nothing to do with you. I would advise you to
think twice before marrying this guy because you will be
paying support not once or twice but for as long as you
are married to him. If you do exactly as I tell you, I
guarantee you will be grateful to me for the rest of your
life. First pack your bags, get a ticket to Phuket and don't
tell anyone where you going, there are plenty of good
company there and you will soon forget this nasty episode
in your life. I know its not easy but please just DO it other
wise your life will be spoilt forever.

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/BK6eP
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

as years (not months) go by he should increase the amount of money he gives his child (not the mother) just because things get more expensive but he can be smart an put into a trust for his child instead of to the mother - then he is paying for the child's future and can prove he is supplying the money it's just in trust till they are older

If his child support payments were arranged through a court, he may need to have them reviewed, however, as long as he is paying a fair contribution toward his daughters up-bringing, there shouldn't be any requirement to pay more. I don't think that they can factor your earnings into what he can afford to pay.
I may be wrong, so it would be better to see a family-law solicitor to find out exactly where you stand.

The maintenance is calculated on your husband-to-be's income. Since your assets are not considered to be his income, they will not be taken into account. Provided that they really are your assets, that is, and not, for example, a business run jointly by the two of you which is registered in your name. In the normal case where you have existing savings and both of you are separately employed, your income/assets are irrelevant.

He probably isn't paying money to her, but paying child support for their child. She will only get more if she files with the court to seek more.
