CSA-Please help.

kimmymurph

Hi,
My partners ex is going to start claiming CSA, he owns his own house but is a student, hes come off JSA now so will have to start paying his mortgage,myself and his family will help with his mortgage payment while hes studying to enable him to get a better carreer and prospects. We are worried that if she starts claming now while hes student they will add it all up till he either starts working or sells the house. My main question is - CAN THEY TAKE MONEY BACKDATED MONEY FROM HIM WHEN/IF HE SELLS THE HOUSE? As she WILL contact them anyday.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!:mad:

Like I said on your last thread, while he has nil income ... he will have a nil assessment and pay nothing. Beware the Parent With Care (his ex) may ask the CSA for a variation, insisting he must have some income somehow to live in a mortgaged home. So he may have to prove to the CSA that he is paying the bills from student finance and handouts from friends and family.

He will have a nil assessment UNTIL he starts earning. He will not rack up arrears until he starts earning. As long as he notifies them when he starts earning then he will know when he he will be due to start paying and won't be accruing any arrears. Because if the PWC catches on to him earning and tells the CSA, they will backdate his payments to the day the PWC told them ... not when they confirm it with the Non Resident Parent (your partner)

Hes not trying to shy away from not paying when hes earning he will be all too happy to pay, its just for now.

So they DEFINATLY won't take money from his house sale?

Hopefully someone will be on to confirm the details of that ...

I brlieve there is something about they class interest as income ... for figures above £60,000. I'm not sure the technicalities of whether a house sale would be included. Perhaps depends whether he will actually make over £60,000 on the sale, whether the money is directly being used for a new deposit on a house. Not sure though. There's are lots of clued up people on here who will help.
