Will the court take into account my ex pays CMS in respect of his first child and this will end in 5yrs. He will then have this money ‘spare’. He will stop paying CMS in respect of our children in 10yrs. We have at least 15yrs until retirement. My argument is he can save the CMS payts to better his retirement prospects. Thoughts?

When CMS payments for first child ( presumably from a previous relationship and not yours?) ends then, assuming everything else remains the same, the amount payable for younger children still eligible will increase.

The court will have to look at the situation as it is today and can’t guess the future.

You can’t argue that you should have more because in 5/10 years time his disposable income will increase due to a liability ending. How do you know he will be in the same job?

From what you have said in your previously posts the only asset is your pension which you are probably going to be able to ring fence as it was premarital anyway.
