Yes, though in total the split between myself and my partner was pretty much even, we got one of the "equality bonus" amounts and missed the others. It was hard to understand how it worked, we did not plan with it in mind and when it happened it seemed pretty random. I haven't kept up to date with the rules but I think they just quietly scrapped the "equality bonus" idea. I'm glad they did. While I am certainly happy I had the opportunity to be with my children because of the system, I do not miss all the hours spent trying to plan with all the rules in mind. My dream system would be a lump sum and the right to take unpaid time off work while the children are young...
