Best Answer:
You have to pay Child Maintenance on all you income no matter how much or little you earn. The child is yours so its only fair that you pay towards its keep.
A:
The thing is, why you think your being forced to pay? Its your child don't you care about him? Kids cost money you know, you should be willingly contributing anyway.
Your saying 55 hour week as if its a huge amount of hours to work or something. I work 55 - 65 hours a week.

Your contributions will be assessed on your ACTUAL earnings, so you will only pay what you can afford.
