CSA repayments are no longer reduced in relation to a mortgage for new claims.
He would have to prove any prior loans were joint and for the benefit of the family for them to be considered.
Well as of 4 days ago they were.....as I spoke to the CSA myself
They HAVE to take it into consideration as making someone homeless is ILLEGAL
And as I said in my previous post....loans which SHE/KIDS have benefitted from are also taken into consideration (example...loan to repair the home....kids furniture etc)
Taken STRAIGHT from the CSA's mouth (so to say)If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly
I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right0 -
With regard to your childern some people give sole custody to the servicing person, even if the child does not live with this parent, this means they often can keep a married quarter and continue to get Army help for things like school fees, it can be risky but if you can make it work can be good for everybody.0

There are different schemes from different time frames - the oldest one, known as CSA1, took into account mortgage costs etc. The newer one (but I think is being/has been replaced) is known as CSA2 and makes no allowance for mortgage/loan costs, but does allow a 'variation' for long distance contact costs (non-resident parent -NRP- has to pay the first £15 per week when I last checked) and average number of nights per week the NRP has the kids, e.g. reduce by 1/7th for average of one night per week.
So you're probably both right, just depends when the child support was calculated.Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0 -

They DO take mortgages into account WHEN the child/children are living in the house!!!If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly

Maybe instead of argueing we should advise Travelchick to go to the CSA website and use the self calculation option available.Making small changes, hoping they will last....0

thanks you again for all the advice. I think with CSA its a case of a roof over the childs head is more important than the head of the absent parent. Neither my ex nor i live in the house we own so it was not a consideration the CSA made. He lives in the mess an the csa disreguarded his living expences an did the calculations based on base wage minus tax an NI. Thanks again for so much advice an kind words :-)0

What factors might we take account of for non-resident parents?
If you are a non-resident parent, we might look at the amount of child maintenance again if you have special expenses of more than £10 a week, or £15 if your income is £200 or more, for:- keeping in contact with your children (for example, if the parent with care has moved a long way away).
- supporting children who live with you who have disabilities or a long-term illness (if the special expenses are less than £10 or £15 a week, we may still take them into account).
- paying back a debt that you took on before you separated from the parent with care, and the debt was for the benefit of the family or a member of the family.
- paying boarding-school fees for children who you pay child maintenance for (we will take account of only the everyday living costs or ‘boarding’ part of the fees).
- making payments on a mortgage, loan or insurance policy to pay off a mortgage or loan on the home that you and the parent with care used to share. The parent with care and the children must still live in the house and you must have no legal interest in it.
We may also change the amount of child maintenance if you transferred property or money to the parent with care as part of a court order settlement or written maintenance agreement made before 5 April 1993. The property or money transferred must have reduced the amount of child maintenance made under the court order or written maintenance agreement. The value of your share of the property or money transferred, after taking off any unpaid mortgage or loan, must be £5,000 or more.
