In this lunch hour we will discuss step-by-step on how to complete the J101 Maintenance Application Form:
• Where to I get the form that I need to complete?
• Will someone at the Maintenance Court be able to explain the form to me or assist me in completing the form?
• What if I do not know the details of the other parent?
• How do I complete the section that alleges that the other person is legally liable to maintain the child?
• What if the children lives with a caregiver (such as a grandparent) and I want to claim maintenance?
• I do not have a court order and the father seldom contributes to the children – what is the legal position.
• I am asked how much I want for maintenance – how do I calculate the amounts?
• Can I claim winter / summer / Christmas clothes as part of the maintenance order?
• How to complete the section that deals with your assets.
• Detailed explanation of what to fill in as your income.
• How the expenses should be worked out and calculated.
• How do I split the expenses between myself and the children? (Short discussion as this will be dealt with in a future webinar)
