Haroutunian v Jennings: FD 1980

It is not wrong for the court to augment the periodical payments order for a child to include an allowance for the mother, especially if the mother has to give up work or is unable to work because she has to look after the child. A child’s need for a carer enables account to be taken of the caring parent’s needs
