Any ideas?

Oh dear...I seem to have started an arguement!
Her having the house was negotiated and was not a problem as it was daughters home! He hadn't thought she would want to come and live with him (although he is delighted) My partner has just bought a flat to live in...whilst he does earn a good salary, no deposit meant that was all he could afford. He really does not want to have to go back to renting...but that may have to be the short term solution. We had planned to set up home together in the flat but will need to rethink that!
You are right he wanted to protect his pension.....he wanted a clean break ( his ex wanted to end the relationship, not him).

exactly. and for that privilidge he gets to lose everything he's ever worked for and has to start over whie she sits pretty laughing at him and taking 15% to rub it in.

it's disgusting. bloody gold digging "wimmin" who just want to ride the gravy train.

jury's out and will be interesting to see how mad she goes when she has to give up 15% of her income.

I can't see why you get so angry at me stating what is fact Speedster - it is a fact that since 1993 it has not been possible to offset equity in property against child maintenance and judges are well aware of that fact. It is not greed, it was what was negotiated in court.

she shouldn't even consider using the csa or accepting a penny off him after effectively getting 60k (plus the capital growth that will accrue in years to come)

but i wouldn't expect you to see that cos it's a tad "grey", and you only see through your blinkers in black and white.

Maintaining his daughter has never been an issue. However if she hopefully comes to live with us it does seem rather unfair that we will have to struggle to purchase a home ,we live in the SE so even with a high salary buying a house will stretch us, whilst his ex lives alone in a four bed house.

Alot of things in life are unfair!! I dont think you should even think about that the ex has 4 bed house. Concentrate and focus on having your partner child come to live with you and try and make the transition as smooth as possible.
Most definetely apply to the csa for maintenance and in the near future maybe you could opt for private agreement.

It is you who has the blinkers on, not me. I have stated a fact - it is up to the PWC to make the choices that they see fit for their situation. If you bother to look elsewhere, you will see that I have given my opinion to some PWCs who are in private agreements not to go to the CSA; the opinion being that it would be unwise to ask for more as they are already getting a good deal out of it. You are just hell bent on being so anti PWC and anti CSA that you can't see past that to recognise when we advise to go an alternative route.
