It looks like separated/divorced dads are set to lose €2,490 in 2014 - and there has hardly been a word about it.
Is there any other group who have lost 200 per month as a result of budget changes?
I heard the health insurance industry nearly having a heart attack because health insurance might rise by €100 over the year - ie €8 per month
The media keeps saying separated / divorced dads have lost 1650 - but we have actually lost 2490 as the standard tax band has been reduced by 4000 so this is an extra 840 loss for high rate tax payers.
That is such an impact on fathers who look after their kids = pay maintenance and also have to pay for a second home. I heard it been abolished because there has been abuse but divorced people have had their finances arranged by the courts
Will we see them rush back to the courts to re negotiate maintenance payments?
One initiative that would alleviate this situation for genuine cases would be to extend tax relief to legally enforced kids maintenance payments - how could we propose this change?
