Child Benefit Stopped for NO reason?
I rang the Child Benefit Office today to inform them of a change to my banking details. After taking my National Insurance No she casually said: "Oh yes your payments have been held since May". I had no idea about this as I kinda didn't think I needed to check the money was going in but asked her why this had happened? She…

CSA ....an (absent) and bitter Dads point of view
I was looking around the web looking at when my CSA payments to my ex will cease, and I found this site. A quick tertiary glimpse is all that is needed to see that it is mainly Mums that are near panic stricken over their monthly windfall ceasing.

Does CSA take into account the paying parent's mortagage, food and council tax?
