Can CSA payments be reintroduced??
Hi In 2003 my husband split up from his previous wife. They had a son together who was 6 at the time. My husband left her the house and agreed through the courts that he would pay Child Maintenance up until he left education. This was agreed through the court and CSA were never involved. In 2015 he left full time education…

If get a DNA test and it comes back inconclusive, what to think?
Before I order a £99 kit to test myself and son secretly I am faced with one (a 1 in 300) possibility of it coming up inconclusive. This is due to a DNA mutation or something.

Self employed
Has anyone who is self employed had to sort out their Child support? I get paid different amounts each month. I have suggested that I show her my invoices monthly and we use the online calculator to make sure it's right but she seems to think I'm up to something and won't accept it. How would the csa do it?

CSA Help please
7 Years ago the mother of my children died. I had already been bringing my son & daughter up on my own a couple of years before this and had an ongoing dispute with the CSA.

Can someone help with a calculation please?
I'm not very good at working out the calculations, so I'm hoping some kind soul can help me out. My ex has been on JSA, so I was receiving £5 per week. Before the move over to CMS, maintenance was taken at source (from his JSA more recently, but directly from his wages previously) due to continued non-compliance, for which…

Help needed understanding CMO please
OK long story short I was stubborn (stupid!) And never applied for csa when my ex left 7 years ago. However last year I did, with his knowledge, via CMO. They were taking forever and messing up the claim by not taking into consideration the child he had after he left and awarded me all the money rather than divide it…
