CSA

[matnanplus]

So it is on it's last legs, i wonder what happened to it's first legs??

3 mates who have had an horrendous time with the CSA, all at different years.

The CSA seem to be against the very children they are meant to be aiding.

wheres the link?

about time - wankers!

To be fair to them, there is very little they can do when the sanctions against non-payment of maintenance are non-existent.

I have an ex who manages to avoid paying by job hopping. For three months he's on the dole, then he gets forced to get a McJob for 3 months, then he's on the dole again, etc. By the time they catch up with him, he's changed circumstances again and the whole thing starts all over again. Now if the onus was on him to pay, rather than on the CSA to collect, and there were genuine sanctions against him, that wouldn't happen.

There is talk about the Inland Revenue taking over the enforcement side, so that each time someone trying to avoid paying gets a job they just take it straight out of their pay. Would probably put an end to job-hopping as it just wouldn't be worth it.

my ex has just done this, given up his job so as to avoid paying £30 a week-miser.

He now has to pay £5.20 a week out of his dole and in 3 months he will get another job and do the same thing all over again, my DS is 9 and it has been going on for years, its not fair

Funny how there's so much talk of sending women who deny contact to their exes to prison, but no talk at all of having effective sanctions against men who don't pay regular maintenance.

I wonder why.
