The parties in this are not married but, when they learned that C was pregnant, they planned together for the birth of their daughter C.
The mother is applying to the Court, not only for an order that the father should pay maintenance to her for C (this is agreed at the rate of £690 per month), but that he should pay her a lump sum of £15,000. The lump sum applied for is in respect of two things:-
(i) "extraordinary expenditure", during 4 ½ years, between now and C going to school for such items as child seats, pushchair, weaning products and appropriate toys and equipment, which will change as the child grows older. The mother calculates the father's half share at £10,000 for this period.
(ii) £5,000 for setting up an independent home for herself and C. Presently she lives with her mother.
The mother is also applying for the payment by the father of other expenses ("extras"), some of which are agreed. Unfortunately, others are not. Matters which are agreed include paying one half of C's private school fees in Jersey and that he should pay one half of agreed school trips.
