HOw can he not support you.

The official reciver will take 50% of any surplus income..... surplus income is after you have given a statment of affiars, saying what you need to live off.

for example, you earn £1500pm, your statement of affairs show for your mortgage/rent and bills and food ect you need £1000.... you are left with £500. £250 of that or 50% will have to be paid to the official receiver.

what you do with that £250 is "up to you" so how can you not support a ph gf ?

also when she came over his soa would be looked at and ajusted for his partner, so maybe he needs £1200 a month to live.... so the or will only get 50% of the excess with is now £300 so he pays less, only £150!!
