Yes it will. Because in a sense what happens is it’s considered first in time, first in right. So, the first child will be given the amount of money and you would look at the calculation based on that. And then the subsequent cases the spouse who has to pay will be given a credit for the other ones. So, it will ultimately reduce the income that then the second family is looked at. So, when he is paying his income out to the second family, if it is calculated at 20% or 28%, the amount of income that that 28 or 20% is calculated on will be reduced because he will already be deducted from the first amount he paid to the first family.
