So I have a lived with/lives with child arrangements order for my kids and the order wording clearly says the children live with their mother and father but in separate households. They’re with me one midweek per fortnight and every other weekend, 50:50 holiday split. I pick them up from and drop them off to school on my days. Me and my ex also have equal responsibility (also included in the court order) regarding their education, welfare etc so I also take them to dental appointments, attend parent evenings, buy them clothes and uniform and more.
Ex applied for CMS last year which they calculated purely on basis on number of nights and I’ve always paid on time.
I’ve only recently come across reg 50 - my query is, how do I raise this with CMS? Do I need to change the arrangements to ‘shared care’ on the portal or seek a special expenses variation?
