AIBU to think CSA is a bloody joke

[Mrbojangles1]

Just called to day and I was today I might be entitled to a whole £5 a week

He dosent work I know that much and I don't think he claims benfits either so I don't even think I will get that gurr

Also went to look for a lawyer today yeah bloody right £155 ph luckly a lady on my road knows somone and they do legal aid will have to contribute towards to it but much better that £155 prince prick(ex) is demanding contact

Dose any one any happy stories about the CSA male me feel better

I was referring to what others have posted NOTE I WROTE " when the ex" not " when my ex". :)

I went to csa a year ago about my xp after 8 years of him mucking me about with money...i wish id done it right back then. Hes got away with paying me shit for years but now im getting an ok amount considering hes got 2 other dc and lives with another 4!!!!!!

But my xh also pays through csa and has done for past 10 years! Ive had nothing but hassle and mucking about, endless phone calls etc...he was on benefit apparently a while back so i got £5 a week for 2 kids, before that i got £78 a week!
Now i get £12.50 as he only earns £120 a week apparently!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

People have said their exs have simply ignored CSA also exs who have simply left their job to avoid paying CSA

And CAS don't seem to beable to do anything impertant

I am sure if the residant parent didn't feed or buy their child food ss would have somthing to say but it seems when the NRP simply refuses to feed and buy food for their child CSA simply ring their hads do nothing

It seems aprt from garnish their wage if their not quitting their job that is

Personally I think passports should be withheld. And also you should not legally be allowed to get married if you not paying child support after all why SHOUD
you start another family of you cant afford the one you already have

Also driving license should be confession away you can't afford to support you child you defiantly can't run a car (my ex drives a range rover brand new)

it is as others have said not the csa but your useless ex. My ex claims he has no money to pay for his daughters but drives a BMW, has loads of holidays, buys and boasts about loads of gadgets, I could go on. I feel sure that one day our daughters will one day see the truth, and see that unlike decent fathers he has done everything he can to avoid his responsibilities to them,

The whole thing is very sad for all the mums who have posted their stories thank you and like HELEN has said our children will know the truth when their grown and are raisng their own families

Do they not pay out of spite
Out or revenge
The only people they hurt is their own children and a parent who knowingly hurts his or her own children you can only feel pity for

Agree wholeheartedly with your post at 21.11 mrbojangles. If the CSA stepped in when the claim is first made and threatened - and more importantly followed through - with passport and driving licence removal and even prison, there would be fewer feckless fathers fucking off without a backward glance. Unless stronger 'stick' methods are im

Damn iPhone! I was saying that unless stronger 'stick' methods are implemented and enforced, the situation will never change.

I agree Mrbojangles1

My xh went on to have another child who he's never had anything to do with, and when csa caught up with him about her that money came out of my dc money!!!!

Then he got married and has another child and that's when he stopped seeing my ds's...8 years ago!!!

So 4 kids and he only see's the 1 he's living with.....nice!!!!!

Why do you need to go court? Isn't their any contact?
Maybe if he had regular contact he would realise cost of children and be more inclined to support. Or at least he would provide emotional support and financial support for while they are with him.

The fault most of the time is not with the csa and its staff but with successive governments failure to legislate properly and give the agency the kind of powers they need to do the job properly.

Yes there are some staff at the csa who fuck up and don't do their job properly. However, when you are working for close to minimum wage with no real career prospects, case loads that you couldn't imagine and you recieve constant abuse from all parties involved I suspect you probably would end up not giving a crap about the job.

Your op should have really read my ex is a shower of shite and the csa are powerless to make him pay....Then I would be agreeing with you.

Oh and there are plenty of women out there who are NRPs and will do anything to avoid paying for their children, it's not just men.

We get £5.00 per week from BM after 2 wks paying we geta phone call from CSA asking to speak to HER??? OH then checks bank account and see's her payments have stopped he calls the CSA to find that they are trying to contact her WTF.

She has an active claim against her eldest kids dad OH tells them that and asks could you not get her details from that case and we get told that is nothing to do with our situation

Great

I get nothing. Not a penny. They have decided that the amount he must pay each week is 0.00

When i started work I used the online calculator and made payments each month direct to the CSA

Sent in my first 3months payslips as requested, waited, waited nothing from CSA, continued with payments

Collected DD from exdw to be told by DD1 6yrs old " we know why Mummy hates you, It's because you wont buy us food or clothes", biting lip does help in these situations.

I'd been making regular monthly payments and the CSA held on to the cash because " I hadn't provided them with the information they required", turns out my employer had failed to return the required info, they had my payslips tho', understandably exdw was livid with me and didn't / doesn't believe it wasn't my fault.

CSA could've passed the payments on based on the information on my pay advice and saved a lot of grief, they are shity, shit, shit

that is really awful adelaiderex they are the most incompetent department ever, I don't think I have ever heard a good thing said about them.

I do think that many ex's do not seem to be able to see that the money they pay is for their children, it is not for the mother of the children. It is to improve the quality of life of the children who they claim to love unconditionally, they attempt to justify the deceit, lying and cheating of their children, by saying that they wont pay for their ex

I really believe what goes around comes around, children can see the disparity in the living standards, and will ask questions. Its not fair but dont waste time feeling bitter and angry at the injustice, money is useful but what we have is far more precious, our children!

You can ask them to look at an ex who has a certain lifestyle, but no income to match. This is not that easy and you have to have good evidence. I failed because the £25,000 he stated he paid for his wedding and honeymoon "could" have been paid for by his parents. You need plenty of evidence and a good staff member (there are a few) will guide you. I was told to reapply with better evidence.

Thats what the Application for Departure is-see above

Don't see how it's the CSA in this case.

He is the lazy wanker

THe CSA are shite and always have been.
My ex was self employed and the CSA just couldn't be bothered so fobbed me off with £150 a month for 3 kids, even though as his former book keeper, i knew he paid himself about 40k a year!

Then he stopped paying me closed his comany down and started working for another company. I call CSA give them all the details including new employer. Phone call back to inform he is living off savings he couldn't save if his life depended on it
Now i get £200 a month for 3 kids and know he earns £36 k a year but CSA still say thats as much as i should get.
They are a waste of space

Latemates I doubut that very much my sisters ex has my nephew every holiday for the whole holiday

He actally asked my sister for £40 a week whilest he was staying with hi, for the summer

Gnashing teeth about how pricey outings are and that he wants icecreams and chips ECt this comes form a man who in 8 years hasn't paid y sister a penny in maintenance she was like welcome to my fucking world he actally had a straight blinking face

Weather they see the children or not they still don't pay if they are that way inclined

It's not that they don't no how expesive it is to raise a child it's that they simply don't give a fuck and are mostly wanting to punish for being kicked to the curb
