My CMS total payments amount to 23% of my net income. Life is very difficult as I must also support my daughter at Uni who does not qualify for the full loans to live. I’m expected to add £6k a year to help her whilst supporting my son who chooses to live full time with his dad at £8400 a year . I’m completely broke. I earn a decent salary but I feel penalised for earning well and having a company car and my daughter does not qualify for a full maintenance loan and has to apply for hardship grants
