How far can financial provision go in child maintenance claims?

Drawing on the recent case of Goodman v Walker, Anna Stanworth outlines the issues relating to financial provision in cases of wealthy non-married parents separating in an article for the FT Advisor.

She identifies some of the areas that are likely to be provided for and those that are not within cases of child maintenance claims and goes on to explain some of the issues around publicity and anonymity.

Senior Associate Anna Stanworth states:

'The recent child support case of Goodman v Walker in July has caught widespread attention given the level of child support being sought by influencer Lauryn Goodman against professional footballer Kyle Walker for their youngest child, Kinara. In this case the parties were unmarried and had never even been in a cohabiting relationship. It was also the second set of proceedings issued that sought to build on and extend the provisions made in previous financial proceedings brought in 2022 for their son, Kairo.'

The full article can be read on the FT Adviser website.
