They are not my kids so why do I have to pay?

Why would you want to take them away from their mother?!

You entitled the thread "they're not my kids so why do I have to pay", so to now start ranting about them ALL being your children doesn't quite ring true


If you get custody will you understand if the other parent starts complaining about their payment, or will the CSA be totally correct then?


Or maybe, since you pay £6 a week and see that as reasonable, that is all you will expect from them?

have you forgotten how much children cost? I think youl be spending alot more than £6 a week on them! an yes youl get the cb an tax credits but theres only so far u can stretch that.
who will be taking days off in scool holidays or when theyre ill?

I hope for your sake that the PWC doesn't appeal on a point of law and get the decison overturned!

In her first post she said they paid far more than the £6 assessment, but it was obviously less than the £20 they then got ordered to pay as she stated it would mean they wouldn't be abe to assist her poor little defenceless uni student kids. I don't have any experience with CSA, is this kind of low payment normal? I appreciate that the NRP may not have enough money to pay half the expenses of their children, but I didn't realise it could be as low as £6? I am amazed, how do people manage?

Under CS1 it was perfectly normal for assessments to be nil - far more than under CS2. Now the minimum payment is a fiver and there are far less exemptions from paying anything at all. To be honest, if I were awarded £6 per week, I would rather have nothing as it is more of a slap in the face!

I thought that, I would have appealed if I had been the PWC, especially if I heard that they were sending money to support adults at uni!

How the heck did you get an appeal heard so fast...is this thread actually a wind-up?

I'm a nrpp, well, wife actually. So what you are saying is women should stay away from men who have kids so their income is not included and paid out to an ex to support their children? What should be happening is the CSA shouldn't be including the income of someone who has no biological attatchement to a child in the first place!

As Tamsin says, they don't unless it is CSA1 and even then the NRPP doesn't have to give her details.

Are you a PWC also? Am just wondering if you are then whether your husband contributes to your children. You know, children that he has no biological attachment to?

Works both ways. Why should it just be the (usually) male PWCP's who do it?

Or, it started genuine, but she realised that she wasn't getting much support and so pretended she had won, to "prove you all wrong"
