Child Support

[amiza]

This disscusion has probably come up loads of times.

My daughter is 8 years old and her father has decided not to pay child support because he has other commitments and is at uni!!!!

The child support agency is being sympathic, but not doing much other than that. They are just as bad as him.

does anyone have any advice or experience with the csa?

I really need some help in how to deal with this.
nothing seems to be getting sorted out....any advice is appreicated.

Don't get me started on the CSA, it will spoil my jubilant mood.

The CSA ahve been very supportive of my ex paying nothing for dd for years,

Mumsnet need to get heavily involved with this agency because 9 times out of 10 it is mothers left holding the baby.

I have a debt of £42,000 by the time my children leave the education establishmnent the debt will be £65,000. We have lack luster enforcement, i have just heard David Cameron say on vanessa feltzs show that absent fathers will be merclessly pursued, but they're not.

I have a charge on my ex husbands property he pays his maintenance in the forms of arrears that will take 50 years to clear making my children 67 & 69 years old by the time this debt is cleared

We do not have legislation in place to make an absent pay maintenance that is fact that not one political party will address!
