CSA - A Joke!!

I can't see a court making an order to that effect considering the 'children' are adults at 18 and can choose what to do for themselves at that age - can you imagine the conversation in the house? "Mum, I am leaving home" "You can't, you are only 20, the courts have said you must stay until you are 21" "Yeah right they can XXXX off! Bye!" Next thing is that mother gets summons to court for breach of the order?????????? The order may have stated that the parent has to pay towards their upkeep if they continue into higher education such as uni but I doubt it can say they must live at home!

Why should she? they are still a couple.

Surely if he is not at school, then he should be supporting this child. He chose to have sex as well so should have some resposibility towards maintaining this baby.??

Thanks for your comment however this isn't a question about HIS contributions towards the child....who is questioning his responsibility? becuase I certinately am not.
I think you have the wrong end of the stick here.I have no reason to beleive that he will not be fully supporting his partner and new baby.

Thank you...my thoughts exactly

the reason i was asking about your partners daughter trying for support for her baby was to see if this would help your partner having to pay a little less. One of the reasons for people writing on these open forums, I thought, was to get input and help.. I know a lot of the comments are not helpful, but again there are a massive amount of helpful things that I have picked up. Sometimes some of the questions that are asked sound as tho accusations are flying. But to be perfectly honest for anyone to get shirty or annoyed on here about the replies posted seems pointless. As we all know, not everybody thinks the same

I am sorry if you think i was getting 'shirty' however I couldn't have put my last reply to you any better really.
The way your comment/question came accross was very much assuming of an innocent party.

Also the comment you made came accross as tho he wasn't going to make any contributions towards his child when infact nothing has been mentioned about him.

Donnadoo, I think Cate was making a suggestion that could help your own situation, ie if teen claimed, they could still be better off than claiming via your partner.

This whole thread has more or less focused on the 1 teen. It looks like at least 3 others (out of 5) will be continuing in education, so the first point to think of is - will it actually change the assessment?
