Wow, I never knew that. Seems plausible.Potentially he has an exemption due to DV? They go both ways. Mums can get an exemption (therefore getting a higher rate of FTB - but Im sure his CS would be more so unlikely Leila applied for this) or dads can get an exemption to not pay due to DV (therefore forcing mum onto FTB). Obvs can be vice versa, its not always the dad who pays etc
