    What way do you think ? Maybe im reading it wrong but surely he gives her now more than she would be getting anyway. How much does she want. Or is it a case off ill make him suffer.
  • I honestly didn't know.

    Either:

    1. Unbelievable that the CSA takes the new wife's children into account
    2. Unbelievable that OP would expect them not to

    I will have a think over the next couple of months while the divorce goes through..I am on IS at the moment, looking to go back to work in the new year.

    Thank you for your comments

    If you are on IS at the moment, you should only be keeping at most £20 a week off of him and it will only be £20 a week at most if through the CSA.

    If you are receiving more than £20 and haven't told the IS people who can then adust your income support payments, you are actually committing benefit fraud ........

    Ah apologies, I misread.

    In that case ... going to the CSA. He might stop paying the mortgage or at least all of it and then you'll only get £20 a week from him. Would you be better off?
