Assessment completed ..... quick update re:car allowance and new baby

Hi, I began posting back in feb as my partners ex wife had requested a re-assessment under cs1 and needed advice re car allowances and figures (especially as was 7 months pregnant). After a lot of hard work and contact with apparently high management within the CSA we have been able to have my partners car allowance removed from his income assessment which was step one.

Our baby was born on 08/05 so under the new allowance rates and with the extra child allowance the assessment was about £15 per month less than what his ex wife was receiving back in feb! Good news for us not so great for the relationship she now has with my partner and her daughther.

I wanted to thank everyone who posted replies and helped advise me especially kellogs .... we can now get on with our lives.
