CSA

Sorry another question, same friend- trying to sort out her money issues.

My friends ex is selling his property. He has told her he is going to make around 15k on it- profit.

He has refused to pay maintenance for his children for years and she always pays for their school meals uniforms, school trips everything.

Question is- if she informs the CSA of this money he's getting from his house sale can she get some of it for the children via CSA? She has a huge bill to pay for an expensive school trip for her son next year that he's desperate to go on and so she's thinking she could pay that off if so.

If she goes to CSA they will take maintenance straight out of his salary if he works.

I know things have changed with CSA but I spoke to then last week and they can do a deduction from earnings eventually.

Tell her to phone for advice I've found them quite helpful and she doesn't have to proceed after the advice.

Sorry my post wasn't clear. She IS now getting money from him via CSA but wondered if she'd be entitled to any of the 15k for the kids too?

Thanks for taking the time to reply :)

I don't think they'll take it into account. However they will take his savings into account, and the interest that he earns from that will be included in the calculation.
