Ex is a total waster and believes because I earn more than him he shouldn't have to pay anything for the dc, ever. He sees them regularly but spends fuck all on them and gives me nothing.
After 3 years I contacted the CSA in February but, as I knew would happen, he's still paid nothing, despite them saying he only needs to pay £17 per week for two kids. They can't get it from him directly as he does temporary work.
Today I received a letter saying they are considering taking legal action and asking me for details such as his address (they already have it and I've seen letters from them there when collecting the dc), his phone number, details of his car, details of his employer, whether he has tattoos or distinguishing features??!
I'm a bit taken aback, tbh. I never expected much if any money from him and really only went to them to make a point as I was sick of his entitled and irresponsible attitude towards me and the dc - texting me to bring pants to his if they ran out while staying, for example. Relations between us have deteriorated since I did it as he now won't speak to me, even in a basic way in front of the dc. He sends me abusive messages saying it's my fault he may be evicted and never replies to my texts about arrangements, which can make life really hard.
I'm afraid if they do go down this route it will make things even harder and he may either refuse to have the dc at all, which would make life hard for me and be devastating for them, or even try and take them from me or fuck with me in some other way.
I thought the CSA were pretty toothless. I don't know whether to respond to the letter - I have some of the details they want, but not all anyway. WWYD?
