Stuff them CSA

CSA have decided to take a whole chunk of my money and give it to my alchoholic ex, until that point i had the money to buy my kids what they wanted as their mother would only spend the money on herself.

So as a company director I have given my company away, lock stock and barrel, all the shares, everything to someone i trust with my life.

Now there all in a hoo ha about this as they cant touch me, luckily for me my wife is very wealthy so the kids will be getting everything they need.

Not all parents who try to avoid CSA are bad parents, infact I have given all this up to protect my kids, firstly the old bag cant afford to get drunk now, thats better for the kids, secondly when the kids have grown up, they will be given the company, which if left to the CSA to delve into would be destroyed.

CSA need to tidy up the way they work- good dads are having to duck and dive and ruin their lives, how the hell can that be good for the kids !

I warned them on the phone what I would do if they got heavy handed, now they can have 25% of nothing, and my kids will not suffer, sorry ex, no more drinks on me !!!

    If a parent gets rid of capital OR refuses to accept income in order to change their maintenance assessment, the capital or income can still be used in working out the maintenance due.
    A fairer CSA for all

    You obviously don't know much about alcoholics then . . . .
    You need to get your children out of this situation and you need to get help for their mother, whatever your feelings about her.
    One life.

    Hmmm, that may have been your first mistake. I really don't think the CSA would be happy to know that you are prepared to threaten them with diversion of income, perhaps your ex will be successful in claiming lifestyle inconsistent with earnings should she wish to challenge your moves?

    You say some very nasty things about your ex which display a high level of anger towards someone who isn't here to defend herself. Perhaps you should refrain from venting your bitterness and anger on the forum? That isn't really what we are all about here.

    Your kids will not suffer? With your attitude towards their mother, surely they already are?

    It isn't about winning. I would like to think it is about your kids.

    agreed - we have this with my partners ex..someone with a problem will have their own prioritization....how would you deal when (as has happened to us) the children phone to say they are hungry and there is no food in the house and the only thing in the fridge is bottles of wine. This is with a CM payment higher than CSA but you cannot dictate to the NRP what they spend it on, give them less and it is likely to be the things for the children that don't get bought. As the children are teenagers they will winge but all we say is that each person has their own priorities and leave it at that. They know that to their mother would say she had no money to buy a £5 school skirt but has money for a £6 packet of cigarettes

    So if your wife is 'very wealthy', it begs the question of why you would get £260.00 per WEEK in WTC/CTC for the 4 children in your household?

    Your ex wife would be getting £20 of the money you pay as she is on benefits - hardly enough to be getting wrecked every night courtesy of you really

    As others have said, don't be surprised if the CSA see this as a deprivation of capital and as a side point, since you are a big fan of not paying your debts and just walking away (since you have been bankrupt 3 times), CSA debts cannot be included in a bankruptcy order.

    If CSA are involved already and you have now transferred your business to your wife, this looks like a straightforward case of deprivation of income, which means that your assessment will remain as it was!

  • That is true the Scottish bankruptcy/CSA laws are different.
