He wont pay maintenance what now?

[jellyjelly]

Been to the solicitor who said he had to pay mortgage, half and maintenance but he wont pay because he is paying half the mortgage.

Ideas now, do i just go straight to csa?

go to csa. you could right to you exp and tell him that that is what you are doing. that might spur him on.

Told him that he has to pay for half the mort and main but as i locked him out and denied access he is only paying one.

ifyou go the the csa website it explains how they work out maintence, that should help you to argue with him. i dont think as you locked him out that has any bearing on whether he pays maintenance and the mortgage. I cant remeber though whether pay the mortgage will reduce his maintance payments. hth

Go to the CSA.

at the moment have been told that he should be paying half the mortgage and 15% of wages at this moment. I can see that if i dont involve them then he wont pay. I can also see him slipping out of our lives in the near future.

What a shit.

But I'd tend to agree with Anniemac I'm afraid.
CSA seemt o only take the 15%, and that's if they bother doing that.

He is a complete tosser and arsehole and want to get every penny out of him that i can.

I want him to have as much contact as he can but he does just come up when it suits him. Been back frm holiday since thursday and he hasnt been up or comes up when he says he will. He earns a fair wage of 36k per year and me about 300 per month full time so know who is better off. He drinks alot so the money he gets is spent in the pub. I want what is due to our son.

I have been calling him asking when he wants to see him and encouraging it because it is importnat for my son to see him. I know this but he doesnt want to come up because he is too busy in the pub and with his new girlfriend.

I dont know how to arrange it? Does the solicitor do it. I am still waiting for his solicitors letter which he saw abotu 3 weeks ago.

I know it is buying me time to sort things out which i am doing really well at today but it bugs me being dependent on him financially until i can get a job which i cant do till i work the notice on my present job as i cant attend interviews at the moment (another long story).

We are trying to sort out the house, he does say he wants it to be friendly but he isnt playing ball.

AT least he is paying half the mortgage that is more decent than my X who left in October and has not contributed a thing towards any of his three kids including not paying the mortgage! The CSA have chased him since January wiht no results at all! We go to court in September over the finance and until then I am expected to manage whilst he runs around with his new girlfriend!

He has said the only reason why he has paid it is because he doesnt want to get blacklisted by missing payments for when they buy a house. That is his reason pure and simple.
