Variation success-what now!
My ex who owns his own company got his assessment halved in Sept 2011 from £430 a month to £196. I was rather annoyed at this to say the least because he has admitted to our son he just makes the payslips up to an amount he feels he wants to pay. I wrote a letter asking for a variation providing information on his…

CSA arrears
Ex owes me £1300 in CSA arrears. Unsurprisingly, just as the deductions of earnings order has been put in he has left his job!! The CSA have told me that unless he gets another job or goes on benefits then they will really struggle to get any of the arrears back. He is apparently going to be supported by his family and…

Back to square one!
HI all. Just wondering if any of you have had similar problems. My son is 14 years old and through his childhood I have only ever received regular maintenance when a DEO was set up in 2004 via the CSA. This lasted 2 years and then ceased when my ex finished legitimate work.Arrears had also built up during this time and…

For me, this has been going on for a few months. The payments into my bank account from the CSA have been very sporadic. Payments missed here and there and then 2 lumped together. The last time I called about this was about 3 months ago. I called again today and I got the same answer. I was told that the accounts…

Can I trace that my DEO has been forwarded to my ex by CSA?
Just wondering if there is anyway I can trace if my payments by DEO have actually been forwarded on to my ex by the CSA without me actually having to speak to her if possible. I have got a suspicion, and it is only that at the moment, that although my liability to pay Child Support ended 2 years ago because Child Benefit…
