Hi, I'm trying to find advice for a Schedule 1 application.
My situation is that im recently separated from my ex and at the time of separation i had savings, a house, a job etc but now all my savings have gone on court fees and i owe over £15k to my parents and have just been made redundant.
My ex lives in a 6 bedroom house, drives a top of the range car, owns a second property that he rents out and has a tax free income of >£3k a month with considerable savings on top. He gets this money in benefits hence why it is tax free.
We have 3 children and he pays £28.40 per month for all 3.
Since separating i have spent all of my money providing for my children. I haven't been on a night out in nearly a year as i simply cant afford it.
I have been advised that a schedule 1 application can be used where a parent who is wealthy yet refuses to assist in the financial support of the children can be ordered to pay to meet the children's needs.
My question is, does this apply if the paying parent is on benefits as CSA have said that he only has to pay the flat rate.
Thank you
