Hi. My partner has 50/50 custody of her daughter (12) with her ex. Her daughter has expressed interest in staying full time with her dad . Saying she's not happy because my partner shouts at her. She used a really strange way of expressing this (we believe it's the words of her dad who's very good at manipulating people )

Long story short would he be able to claim CSA from my partner if the child stays with him full time . Is there anything we can do

Yes he would

And the best thing you can do is to take your DSD's unhappiness seriously. Does her DMum shout at her? Why?

How long have you been together? It can take a surprisingly long time for a DC to really come to terms with a new adult in the household

She only shouts at her when she won't get up for school in the morning. We've been together 2 years . Her dad has another partner too for abit longer .

There is a court order in place to say 50/50 does that not count for anything.

Also he has another son and the kids share a room at his as he only has 2 bedrooms , son is 14

Yes he can claim maintenance from your partner. Her child can chose where they want to live as over 11.5 unless there is a good reason like safety against it. It is hard was there with my own DS my ex just saw it as a way to get to me.

I wouldn't have thought the courts would be keen on a 12 year old girl sharing a room with a 14 year old half-brother. Doesn't sound to me like the ex can accommodate her.
What's the ex's housing situation? The set up they are proposing would put them near the top for most social housing; is that likely to be a factor at all?
