Now...before I start I have absolutely no objection to paying CM- at all.
I love my DSDs unconditionally.
DSD1 there is no CM as she is in her early 20's, DSD2 is 17 and this is who the maintenance is for.
When DSDs mum applied for maintenance she made out she had tried to set up an agreement with DP (she hadn't btw) so they went straight to attachment of earnings- this was 8 years ago, we have never not paid it, and the attachment of earnings order is massively relevant here.
So fast forward to this month- DP hada heart attack four weeks ago.
As a result, this month he was due to be paid SSP- about £80 a week.
The CSA have taken every single penny of it.
We have nothing to live on....literally nothing.
I know we need to pay CM, but basically it means our 4 yr old is going to go without, and when I say without....we are going to be scraping the cupboards, and I have no idea how I am gonna pay the rent and bills.
We don't have savings, don't claim any benefits and DP will be back to work next week....we need money!!
We would have had no problem payiing a bit extra next month, when DPs back on a wage, we could have sorted something out.
AIBU to think that this can't be right??
