CSA increase

Husband was paying exw £380 a month for his two DS. Access was set out years ago that kids stay over 1 night on a weekend. For over a year an informal agreement was made that they also stay 1 night midweek too, which has been continuing fine. Recently CSA has increased to £500 a month, after ex has been to csa. He was paying what csa has told him to pay. He called csa to advise about the extra night he has them and they said if she confirms this info then a new calculation will be done. She then messaged my husband and threatened to stop all midweek visits and she will not confirm the extra night he has his children. He has messages to confirm Thjs and messages to confirm his children do stay over an extra night. Is there anything he can do to with csa to look into this calculation again as the amount of nights are not correct.
He also pays for their sports clubs, school trips uniform phone bills etc too
Thankyou

Obviously your partner’s biggest concern here is how little he’s seeing his children. He must be very keen to change that as a decent father. He may need to go to court to do that.

This was my thought. Imagine all this ruckus over £30 per week for 2 children.
Does the increase actually mean he’s been underpaying all along?

The mom shouldn’t threaten to withhold contact - that’s wrong. This, however, does not a gold digger make 🙄. It’s £15 per child, per week. Not golden at all.

Money grabbing 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah she's coining it in, recieving less than £50/week per child and parenting his kids over 70% of the time. It must be endless champagne and 5* holidays...

Meanwhile on planet earth, he's actually not covering the costs of raising his own kids and it's far from "money grabbing" for their mother to ask him to do so.
