Is my new husband liable

You talk absolute rubbish DUTR.

If the NRP is not working but receives child tax credits, then they will be used in the assessment and payments will be assessed on those. Otherwise there will be a nil assessment - just the same as if the NRP were male. It works the same for both male and female NRPs.

The main difference you may find, is that proportionately female NRPs are paid less, therefore pay less, and under CS1 would usually have a nil assessment due to the housing costs/earnings ratio which would usually be higher as women tend to earn less than men (fact - many women work part time etc). In addition, there are a hell of a lot more female stay at home mums than there are men, hence the appearance that female NRPS pay less - they don't but there are firstly a lot less of them, and secondly it is more likely that there are either working part-time, or not working.

It can't be absolute rubbish as you agree, it is highly unlikely the OP will have to pay a penny, the difference is, if a male became a stay at home parent and the new female partner was at work all sorts of sanctions would and could be levied. glad you agree though in the case of the OP, there is nothing to be worried about

Now let's suppose the OP did have to make a contribution, it is unlikely to be much over a fiver, which would be enough, but not enough for weejay ?

Just to make things a little clearer (and hopefully less heated) we receive £10 a week tax credits so they can assess me on that. It's all up in the air at the moment as my family is falling apart. Hopefully he will see sense after going to stay for 2 weeks (my son has had no contact at all with his dad for the last 6 years)

The grass always looks greener on the other side...reality is a different thing altogether!

Not true - it does not matter what gender the NRP is, the action is the same. In this case, there are no arrears at present, so no sanctions could apply.

Theoretically it does not matter what gender the NRp is, however as you have worked for them and I work with people who have had experience with them, you know and a lot of others do that NRP refers to absent father, and the Female NRPs NEVER face any of the sanctions .
And sorry but the bias shows in some of your other posts sadly

kelloggs36

That is not true - I have dealt with some female NRPS and they were always dealt with equally. I feel you clearly haven't read enough of my posts to be able to conclude that I am biased. If you had, you would see that I have helped many NRPs as well as PWCs.

NRP stands for non resident parent - it does not mention father anywhere, nor has it ever done, even when it was Absent Parent (AP). I feel you are getting carried away.

To be fair, you did give equal advice.

In general though we are in 2010, and fathers don't have the same rights as the mother, thats a fact of life.

Yes they changed it from Absent fathers but the media still refers to them as so, did you not post not so long back that fathers who don't bother with their children but pay csa should be locked up, yet there was that girl that posted about her Mum not having nothing to do with her, you never said the mum in that case should be locked up. I can only go on what I see on the forum, but as it stands I don't see equality
