CSA-Backdating pay

NACSA_CHAIR

OP - just to clarify, it depends on the circumstances of him owning his own house...if he isnt actually living in that house, then it CAN be considered an asset - and she CAN apply for money to be taken against it. The other posters are correct in that if there is no active application in force now - the CSA cannot backdate any claim. If she does go to CSA, and an assessment is made, the PWC can apply for assets under the variation scheme. But do be aware, that this can ONLY apply if :

1. the PWC makes an application for a variation - CSA themselves cannot instigate it.
2. the NRP does not live in the property (his primary residence is disregarded as an asset)
3. the property has a value, net of mortgage, that is greater than £65k.

his house is worth £160000.00 (think thats right), and he does live in it, shes now got a job apparently so shes gunna start going down the csa route, i think, shes now messed his days up telling him as shes now working he will have to have the child when it suits her!!!!

also what the PWC and NRP

PWC is parent with care,
NRP is non- resident parent,
NRRP is you - non resident parent's partner.

My advice would be whatever the PWC says

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAY HER CASH.

If she gets the CSA involved, and he pays her cash once they are involved, she can deny to them that he has paid her anything. They will then say he owes arrears as it would be up to him to prove that he paid her anything, and they ALWAYS give the PWC the benefit of the doubt, so if it was his word against hers she would be believed.

Good Luck!

If she goes to the CSA, they will start charging him from the date they contact him. They cannot ask for backpay if a case has never been opened.

If she's messing him around with contact and he really cannot sort it out with her amicably, he can apply for a contact order so the contact is set down in writing and she could get into trouble if she keeps changing it (wont stop the possibility altogether though). They'll recommend mediation first. Look at the families need fathers website and it'll show you how. It doesn't have to cost a lot and he can represent himself.

Good luck.
