Because it does work in the majority of cases. Blob, you seem to be implying that she should leave it and let him off!!!

She shouldn't just leave it and 'let him off' I didnt realise contributing was some sort of punishment which is what seems to be implied, also if the Op's ex is earning over 100k pa, then does that not put him outside of the csa claiming proceedure policy £2k/week? and finally it may work in the majority of cases, however he could fall into one the minority cases where he will go the whole length just to prove his point.
I'm sure there is much more to the whole episode than what we know (or need to know) .

Not at all, I ask only why the tax payer should keep these people. There also has to be a different way as well to do this.

As a side issue I have an appointment with the Minister larter this month to talk about amoungst other thing just this kind of action! I have put in an 8 page document which I will happyly send to you if you like, and would welcomb your comments on, if you like.

Committal is the absolute last resort, so there is no other way.

I'll have a look.

Just a thought, if he has not paid in the last 6 years, do you think this will now make him pay. If he goes to prision, will you get any money then?

Or will the long suffering tax payer have to pick up the bill for him in prision and when he comes out and for the rest of his life?

There has to be a better way, this treatment did not work before the CSA, so what makes anyone think it will work now?

Blob -

I hope he doesn't go to prison. Actually I just want him to assist in the financial upkeep of his children.I work and support them, no benefits and I feel it is his moral and legal duty to assist. We were married for 11 years, we both wanted a family therefore we are both responsible for the children.

I really thought he would pay after the last hearing. The fact that he turned up led me to believe he was finally taking it seriously. I was wrong - again!

I hear what you are saying about the taxpayer footing the bill for him to go to prison, I'm a tax payer myself and don't wish to contribute, however all other avenues are exhausted. What's the alternative? I'm keen to know.

As I say there has to be a better way, I am not defending him at all. I think that NRPs that dont pay for their children are the ones that make it hard for the rest of us. Again there are two sides to this as well. I dont have a magic wand to fix the problems, but I am at least trying to look at ways to make the system better and workable. I think that may be why I have the invite to Westminister, and at least they want to listen, will it come to anything, good question well put, answer have not got a clue, but at least I will try.
