Key legal question
Whether the child maintenance order had to be increased for the relevant periods
Extracted holding
Yes. The maintenance contributions were recalculated upward for multiple periods based on corrected need and the father’s capacity.
Extracted reasoning
The court corrected the father’s budget by excluding taxes in deficit periods, reducing health insurance to the realistic premium, recognizing shared living costs, and moving the imputed income to 2018. This increased the distributable surplus.
