Child Maintenance and Mortgage Payments – New Guidance: LM v SSWP & NM [2024] UKUT 259 (AAC)
What happens if the Child Maintenance Service has determined that a non-resident parent is required to pay child maintenance to the parent-with-care, but payments are also being made towards the mortgage secured on the property in which PWC still lives with the qualifying child/children? Does it matter if the property is jointly owned by NRP and PWC? Will those mortgage payments reduce the amount of child maintenance?

Child Maintenance by the Back Door? Mortgages and Schedule 1 Children Act 1989
Following the successful appeal of the arbitral award in LT v ZU [2023] EWFC 179, the decision has been reversed in the further appeal to the High Court ([2024] EWHC 778 (Fam)). LT v ZU is significant as it provides authority to permit a court to require a party to take out a mortgaged loan to provide housing pursuant to Sch 1; and pay the monthly mortgage instalments in cases where the court has no jurisdiction to make periodical payments. The father is seeking permission to appeal.
