CSA please help.

[xkatyx]

Hello, i don't know if i am on the right thread, i hope so.

Does anyone know how the CSA work's? my husband has a 10year old daughter from a previous relationship and recieved a letter about it today.

We are both very worried and don't know what to exspect or what the CSA take into concideration when working out the payments.

please any advice would be really appreciated.

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but why on earth has he not paid maintenance for 10 years?! It could be as simple as the mother claiming some new benefits, which will automatically get the CSA involved, but really, your dh has a responsibility to support this child.

his daughter is 10 years old and his ex and him were a on/off relationship when she was born all was fine, when they broke up she said she wasn't his. and refused him to have his daughter or see her.

My husband went to courts and because she didnt want any money off him and was saying she wasnt his there wasnt alot he could do.

5 years later out of the blue CSA letter comes in demanding 15% of wadges .. me and my husband have alot of debt and 2 children and find it hard as it is, they are asking for 330 a month i cant understand anyone who could afford that???

also she is still denying him rights to see her, can she still do that?

The ex is a nasty piece of work and will love the thought of us not being able to afford anything, we are trying to contact her to see of we can come to an agreement but she wont reply to us.

thank you that is very good advice.

unfortunetly it wasnt as simple as putting money aside as my husband and i had near enough no money to live off our selves it has been a very hard few years which has resulted in a lot of debt. we are getting back on track and have bank accounts for all our children once we can they will all recieve some money towards there futures.

thank you again, yes we are sure on the money thats not with any money from me, im a stay at home mum at the mo. thats with child deductions.
