    also one more question my husband has agreed to pay me £30 a week in child maintenance cash in hand is this right

    This seems very low to me for two children. Mine is csa assessed and I get £55 week for one child, my ex has a child with new wife and two with first wife which is all taken into account. He is a nurse and earns around £2000 month gross. So even taking into account the bigger salary it is to cover 4 children.
    Life is not the way it’s supposed to be. It’s the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.
  • he still has debts and a mortgage to pay for so buy the time everything is taken out it leaves very little he has a dmp which he is paying for and only earns £850 a month

    Debts are nothing to do with how much he has he has to pay for his children.

    If he is not going to pay for his kids, who will?!

    I totally agree, they are nothing to do with the assessment at the csa. Its his duty to maintain the children.

    I'm not sure why you'd even consider continuing to have his wage paid into your account...

    Or, indeed, why he'd want his wage paid into your account when you are no longer together!

    That isn't normal for people who are separating!
