The CSA have successfully secured Child Maintenance for DCs for a number of years. Actually, ExH has never quibbled about the CSA and although my relationship with him is not the best, we do want DCs to have a good relationship with their father so we both make an effort.
Recent changes to both my and ExH's circumstances have brought about a CSA reassessment. ExH really thought he would not have to pay much or at all. TBH I, too, thought he might not have to pay any longer. Not so. Not a massive variation on the old amount, in fact.
I do think this new assessment is causing so much upset, that it could indirectly adversely affect the relationship between ExH and DCs. I think I would rather stop the CSA. ExH is not mean with the DCs and extras, but already he's in danger of getting into arrears, is quite depressed and I think the relationship between the DCs and their father is much more important than the CSA's involvment.
Does anyone know if I can simply tell the CSA I do not wish them to act for me anymore? I work and I'm not on benefits, but I do get tax credits (working & child).
I intend to phone them tomorrow and I've told my ExH that I'm going to ask them to stop, but now I'm concerned that that the CSA won't allow me to stop it.
Does anyone know? Thanks for your help.
