    Don't think it can, can it Mark? For a CSA case to proceed there has to be an NRP..and if the other parent is in the same house then he/she is not 'non resident'.

    It can and does,i remember a case on here not so long ago. I think the key is proving that finances are separate between the two parties.

    Is that not for Tax Credit and benefit purposes?

    I'm not saying you are wrong (perish the thought!!;) :D ). it's just I thought I had read on the CSA website some time ago that there has to be an NRP (NR being operative) for a case to proceed.
  • Mark could be right, the CSA does make and break the rules when they feel like it. The CS Act 1991 doesn't provide for having separate finances, absent parent is the operative word in the legislation but someone on this forum said something about interpretation of the law.

    The CSA could interpret separate finances to be absent from the children, but I can see it falling over at tribunal.

    Personally if you've split up, you've split up and in this day and age many couples are having to live seperate lives in the same household so CS should be payable to the PWC.

    But then I can see it from the other side of the coin where a 'NRP' could be in the house so therefore still contributing to household bills etc, all of which CSA is payable for.

    I can get a signed tenacy agreement of the person, they keep sending the letters to (confiudent address) and my tenancy agreement as to where I actually live.

    i'm guessing two is better than one
