The average monthly wage in Poland is €750 so €1400 per month sounds like a lot if she does not need to pay for accommodation.
Can you get a lodger in? You will also need to factor in flight costs to see your child.
I also don't believe she can take the child to live in another country without your consent.
She is not used to working now, and she wants to move back to her home country with our child. How am I going to support them? She is looking for more maintenance than I can afford. There is little or no social welfare in her home country.
I would be looking at "rent a room relief" to help you out here.
Generate €12k a year by taking tenants in. That won't be taxable. In effect, pay her that (i.e. €1,000 a month).
Then formalise your separation so the maintenance payments become tax deductible for you. Yes they would be taxable for her but she'd have a low income and be non resident.
The net effect will be the €1,000 a month probably costing you about €750 because of the tax deductibility of the maintenance payments.
That would be my advice anyway.
- Negotiate a lower payment too her. €1,000 should be enough.
- Avail of rent a room relief.
- Get a tax break for the maintenance.
Best of luck and sorry to hear about the breakup.
