    Mitchaa you do make me laugh with your assumptions here!! Many NRPs do NOT provide a roof over their children's heads and most PWCs do NOT have a free house to live in!!!! In fact in my experience (both personal and professional) shows that it is the minority who do this.

    Your assumption is also false - are you saying then that a PWCP does not pay tax either then just because they are supporting children that are not theirs? No, of course they do, so your argument fails on this point.

    Sorry i have no idea what you are trying to get across here:confused:

    Sorry again, i am missing your point. The minority do what:confused:

    There are over 1m adults in this country who claim single persons benefits, if they are claiming these then it's highly likely that the vast majority will ''have a free house'' to live in. By free, i mean taxpayer funded...I dont know what you are getting at though here as benefits have nothing to do with the discussion:confused:

    My example was to show how CSA2 is very unfair to NRPs as they take no account into the NRP's basic essential welfare costs, this was something the O.P said worked in favour of an NRP:confused:

    This is not a benefit bashing thread as far as i can see so why try make it into 1?

    If you want to do that, is it best not in DT?

    Missy_me personally I would ignore mitchaa - despite lots of evidence to the contrary he persists in his views that fathers who don't want to pay should be let off the hook and all mothers are in it to rip off their ex partners as much as possible.

    I deliberately use the terms father and mothers as he comes across to me as utterly sexist too.

    Good luck with your attempts to get justice for your children but please be remember that your health is important too.

    The minority of NRPs provide a roof over their children's heads.

    You implied that a NRPP should not support the NRP child because they pay taxes which pay for benefits for others, whilst the PWCP who also pays taxes would not be hit twice because they are supporting the children who are not theirs - which is not true as they are being hit twice for that very reason!!! I'm not suggesting that NRPPs should pay for their partner's children, but your suggestion that it is different for PWCPs is not true.
  • OP I pity the impossible position you find yourself in....get the CSA involved, while your not wrking it makes no odds to you so let them, eventually they will catch up with him. Good karma, Bad karma. The most important thing is that your children have as happy a childhood and have enough good memories to block out the bad ones, as their mother your the only 1 who can make sure of this, bad health or not we as mothers always put our kids needs 1st!!! so well done and good luck trying to keep this vile man away from your kids.

    As for michaa he's fond of his keyboard diarhea, spends most of his time on here from the looks of things....think he needs to get out more :L
  • at the end of the day its all money making for the government, and lets face it at the moment they are well up !!!!!! creek.

    and dont they just love it when pwc and nrp dont speak to compare csa problems
