DH has 3 children, the oldest 2 were resident with him, youngest 2/3 nights out of 7 with him, rest with mum.
Mum was assessed to pay through CSA, but we chose the direct pay option, and at the request of all 3 children never collected. In total there are 5 years of arrears totalling circ £10k.
The middle DC stopped being due CSA monies about 18 months ago, we estimate arrears to now be circ £8k.
However exw has now put in a CSA claim of her own for youngest. CSA have said the arrears dont count as we went for direct payment.
Im furious, we are carrying a significant amount of debt and yes I was happy enough not to have taken her money (id rather have choked than see her "without" in the DCs eyes), but I feel like the CSA are penalising us for being "nice".
Is there any point in arguing with the CSA re the arrears, or have we just got to accept that its our tough luck.
