The husband in this case is a general medical practitioner, working as a sole practitioner. The wife was, for many years, his book-keeper, even after they had separated in January 2007.
Up until 23 rd April, 2010, the husband continued to make payments of £500 per week to the wife as general contribution to her maintenance and the maintenance of the children. He also paid the sum of £500 per month, into a different account, in respect of the two younger children's school fees. The money for the school fees also ceased in March 2010.
However, on 11 th May, 2010 a total of £100 per week recommenced after some correspondence between parties' lawyers. No money was paid for the children's school fees.
The wife, in her open position wants the reinstatement of increased maintenance for the children and herself and an amount to be set aside for school fees. The amounts are £385 per week for child maintenance, £460 per month for spousal maintenance and £675 per month for school fees. At the hearing, Advocate Colley, for the wife, also drew attention to the high cost of entertainment and school trips of £428 per month which, it was argued also formed part of the wife's reasonable needs.
The husband's open position acknowledges that he must pay interim child maintenance, but makes no provision for spousal maintenance. The husband also offers to pay school fees. He suggests a figure for child maintenance of £250 per week.
