Hi All, A friend of mine is a hair dresser, I have been claiming flat rate expenses for my profession but he does not know under what heading to claim flat rate expenses under. He buys all of his own tools and equipment, he is also a PAYE worker. Anybody know if he should get flat rate...

Just wondering how is it now after a few years? What BER did you eventually achieve?

I'll have to get proper legal advice from a solicitor if and when the time arises that I have my own place and look at moving her in.

Hi All, I never seen the updates here as I never got an email notification. Thanks all for contributions. I would have thought that the house deeds and mortgage in my name would mean I am the property owner. I was also thinking that I should charge a very nominal amount of rent to her until...

http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Cohabitation.aspx <- This? I read it and I still think it can be open to interpretation and portrayed as one way or the other. There are certain boxes we tick and others we don't. For instance if she was sick I would gladly go over and look after her if needs be...

Hi All, I am trying to find information regarding the social welfare rules on cohabiting to put my girlfriends mind at ease and I would appreciate any information you have available, I have scourged the social welfare website but I cannot find any definitive answers. I'm in my 30's with a well...

So we were in court the other day. We were in for Access & Maintenance. Access was sorted on the day and I got very good access. Maintenance was adjourned as there is an issue with my work at the moment. However the judge said I have been very fair with my payments but would look into it in...

@Thirsty They are my kids, I have absolutely no problem having them take up my evenings and weekends, before the access was stopped I would have them 2-3 days and nights a week anyway. As I said before I work shift 3 and 4 days rotating each week so I would have no problem with appointments, I...

@AppleSun I sent 2 letters, an email and a short text message requesting access but I never got a reply. My solicitor also sent a letter to her last week but again there was no reply. @Thirsty I wouldn't need 24 hour child care. Just after school on a Tuesday & Wednesday evening. I only work 3...

@Sue Ellen Thank you for the PRSI contributions link :)

I applied to the Department Of Social Protection to find out how much contributions were made in my name. Contributions were submitted in 2012 and 2013 but as of yet there has been no contributions made for 2014 or 2015. @DB74 If I ring revenue now will that start an investigation into why...

Just an update. @AppleSun Still no access since I last posted, court applications have been sent in by me for access, maintenance and guardianship to get it all sorted out once and for all. I received legal advice from my solicitor on what course of action to take and I also met with a single...

After another weekend of not being allowed to see my children I have decided that it is time to go to court. We will be going to court for maintenance and split custody (Friday after school to Monday, with grandmother dropping to school on Monday morning). I have spoken to my employer and if in...

Thanks.

She doesn't need to include childcare as it can be provided free of charge. I just checked the medical card and as long as she doesn't earn over €260 a week she can keep her medical card if she has one. I have included her diesel at €50 which is a very high rate, unless she was working miles...

Another problem in our society are people who have kids in order to secure a financial future for themselves. If she was to work the kids could easily be supported by hers and my earnings. In relation to the childcare, I have the kids at the weekends anyway so she could if she wanted get a part...

I think you should reread my post, also we were never married. She is not working and has no intention to work, childcare has been offered to her for 5 days of the week free of charge and arrangements can easily be made for Tuesday and Wednesday if she had to work for these days. I have a duty...

I know this is an old thread, just wondering does anybody know how it would work where there are 2 children. Can one parent claim the credit for one child and the other claim for the other child?

I am 29 and I have 2 children from an old relationship that did not work out, the mother of the 2 children is now looking for more maintenance and is threatening to go to court if I do not pay more. However I feel I am paying a fair amount. I would like you to look at the following finances and...

Would at that stage they begin investigating or would that be a separate matter?
