Child support

Please can someone offer some advice. My husband is on CSA 1 with no arrears, he became self employed in early October (he could not remain in his previous job because symptoms associated with his disability had worsened and he couldn't cope with the journey to and from his workplace). He notified CSA straight away and was…

Hello, I have a 30 hours per week contract with my employer and my salary is at the rate of £6.19 per hour. In fact, since May 2012 I have always worked more than 40 hours per week and I have paid Taxes and National Insurance. I wonder if my Statutory Maternity Pay will be calculated on what is written on my contract or on…

Hi I'm on Income Support and receive CTC also. My ex has stopped paying child maintenance. Do I need to let DWP or the Job Centre know? As far as I know child maintenance isn't used in calculations for the benefits I receive. Thanks.

Hello everyone, Due to the CSAs failure to review an assessment lastyear, I put in a complaint. During the complaint process it came to myattention that the NRP had supplied misleading information for the assessmentlast year, and a prior assessment in 2010/11. I then supplied the CSA withdetailed information of where the…

Hi all. I have been paying CSA since November and would like some information if possible.

Currently I am paying £375 a month in CS for my daughter. £25 of that is 3 months of arrears spread out over a few…

Please forgive if I am sounding dense but can someone please tell me: 1. Does child benefit cease to be paid if a young person is only in part-time education (2 days per week). 2. If child benefit ceases, do CSA payments cease as well? Any advice gratefully received.

I live in London with my child. My ex moved out several months ago and has been paying a set amount child maintenance each month (which is a third less than the 15% amount CSA would enforce). I didn't contact CSA yet as I thought I would give him more time to reconsider.... So all this is between us, no agreement just…

I've finally got some form of Child support sorted after well over 4 years, my ex is "on benefits" (he's committing benefit fraud) and I get £2.50 a week. Sometimes it is paid weekly and sometimes fortnightly (but it hasn't been paid for three weeks now) Do you have any idea why the payments keep changing from weekly to…

For 7 years i've have an absolute nightmare with the CSA in november 2011 after involving mp's and the ICE enforcement action was done and regular maintenance and arrears are now being paid by DOE. There are currently in excess of £16,000 of arrears outstanding which i applied for under an advance payment to cut a long…

My local magistrates court as never heard of or dealt with a REMO form. If you were holding a completed REMO form in your hand and you were inside the magistrates court, who do you see and what do they do with the form ? I'm aware its best I get the form back and submit directly to REMO and to use the magistrates, not the…

I would love to know what steps will actually be taken by CSA if my ex fails to pay arrears. I understand that there are a number of steps they say than can take but do they ever really follow through with revoking driving licences/passport? I know my ex is highly unlikely to make any payments to bailiffs (who are now…
