Go on to the CSA website (or get him) and they have a calculator which will give the figure that the CSA would expect him to pay.

You can then arrange a private arrangement. If you are on benefits then you will need to tell the DWP and they will deduct it from your benefit less £20 which you get to keep.

Hopefully that's more helpful

No, you may well be required to prove it via a DNA test.

If you don't want to go through the CSA why would you inform them ?

If you are on benefits you need to inform JSA of the payments he makes.

i've calculated it and its £39 he has to give me every week, so do i just ring IS and let them know that we have agreed to an amount. and thats not bad if i get to keep the first £20.

Yes but only if the NRP requests it. I think the OP was trying to get accross the fact (though quite why she should have to justify herself) is that she knows the father of her baby.

oh another question, will he have to back date the payment for the whole year or not. i'm not to bothered about that if he doesn't have to give me the money. i'm just happy that now he will be in her life and we are both civilised about it
