pd001 is correct
DO NOT let the CSA bully you into giving your pay details to them in any formIf you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
I have known a few cases, but the point is Pd, that they CAN if they want to!! The OP won't know who is dealing with the case to be able to pre-empt that decision - it is safer to give the details.0

Agreed,
but the circumstances involved in the few cases you mention must have been very exceptional? I wouldn't mind betting that those cases were not the norm.
As for pre-empting a decision, everyone of us would struggle with that one0 -
Would it be fair to say:
1. If NRP income is GREATER than NRPP income then give NRPP income details
2. If NRP income is EQUAL OR LESS than NRPP income then DO NOT give NRPP income detailsThe CSA is unjust, oppressive and discriminates men. If you tell me otherwise then 2 and 2 is 5, and you have a Ph.D in rendering bovine fecal matter.0 -
That would be fair to say, but there is still a risk (which I can't quantify) that the CSA will apportion the greater proportion if the NRPP refuses to give their details. It is a discretionary decision -= you take your chance.0

My husband of 10 years has a 18 year old daughter who is doing her second art foundation course, we have paid support voluntarily by direct debit for both her and her older sister who is now 20 ever since DH left ist wife. Older daughter left school at 16 and moved out and got a job. However we still kept paying for another year, even though we have two very young children of our own. Things then got tight for us with childcare costs etc ( I went back to work when first child 4 months old) and so we halved payments.
Sorry to ask a dumb question but how old do the kids have to be before you can stop paying support?"Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves." - Norm Franz0 -
19th birthday is the absolute cut-off. Otherwise it depends on when they leave non-advanced education.0

if the absolute end date is 19 birthday, if they are 18 now and 19 in Sept, but leave college May/June time this year then will CM still be payable if the ge a job etc?0

If the child leaves further education, either by quitting or completeing the course, before they are 19 then support stops!
So it's 19 or completeion of further education or whichever comes first!
(Further education does not mean anything over A level syandard, so foundation degree, degree, Level 4 NVQ etc are NOT further education - again as I understand the situation).;)0 -
so if they don't get a job and the course finishes thats it then? that would mean it finishing 3 months early, but acording to Child Benefit, their claim is up til the Childs 19th birthday or does that stop when their course does - I'm confused!, I can't ee "PWC" letting that happen!0
