My ex-partner pays money every month not sure if he is paying enough or too much, i've been on CSA site, figure stated is less than he is paying - does it include mortgage payments or does this come on top? we have one child together does he had to provide for a roof of her head? I am struggling with mortgage and outgoings even though i am working full-time and claiming tax credits.... Please help

Thanks in advance.

I don't think they have to pay towards mortgage. Just 15% of their wages regardless I think for one child. My friend has found these helpful http://www.nacsa.co.uk/

doesnt it depend on how much he earns? hate to sound harsh but he needs to be able to support himself to. I know my dad only paid £6 a week towards me, but luckly my mum was on income support so it was topped up. if there mortgage is joint surley that would be a seperate issue with the bank, again when my mum and dad split/div he had to pay half of a joint loan for £25000

CSA only deal with child maintenance for things like food and clothes etc and for one child he should be paying you 15% of his net income. If you are getting more than that you are very lucky and he could go to the CSA himself and ask them to assess his liability.

Finances such as mortgage and the equity on the property would usually be sorted by a solicitor when a couple separate. It might be that you will have to move to a cheaper property especially if he asks for his share of the equity to enable him to afford a new life.
