hi i hope someone can give me someone advice.

i am currently paying £150 per month csa, i am a full time student, and working 30 hours a week, i am also paying legal aid,(£117) to get access to my daughter.
can i inform the csa that i am a full time student? and will i pay more because of student loan?
i also pay legal aid, do i inform csa about this?
i work for a council and the council and csa sort out my payments.


cheers

Full time students normally have a nil assessment and pay no child support ... but as you have a 30 hour a week job as well, they would probably still assess you on your earned income.

Someone more clued up will hopefully come along who will know for certain. Depending on your earnings, I believe if you earned between £100 and £200 a week, you would pay a certain amount (where the calculation is slightly different to normal) but then over £200 a week, you would pay 15% of your net income in child support.

Have you checked the calculator on the CSA website to see if you are paying the correct amount?

I also believe they would not take how much you are paying in legal aid into account. They are not interested in any outgoings you have (unless your case is an old one, started before 2003 and not changed over since, when they only take into account housing costs).

how much are your weekly earnings?
