    Could you not make a private agreement with this girl? Just make sure you do it properly through the bank and not cash in hand.

    Work out on the csa site, using thier calculator how much you would have to pay her. Taking into consideration your other child too.

    As of April she will get all of it even tho she is on benefits.

    When is the baby due? Maybe a bit of support before the baby arrives will lessen her threats to get the CSA involved?

    If I was the OP, I would not be considering making any private agreement, also later on in the thread, the NRP need not worry if the PWC gets all the money or not, just worry about what he may have to pay and if he can maintain a lifestyle, OFTM , we have all been there, next GF, make sure she sw*ll*ws :beer:

    Or as Jezza says "put something on the end of it"!!
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.

    my bad, mis read both incomes bit.

    i thought the £40 disregard was already in with unlimited on the cards soon too???
    The benefit disregard atm is £20, there is word from 12th April 2010 any maintenance will not affect your benefits but only time will tell if this is the case.
    *SIGH*

    I have been told that at the moment its £20 disregard.... most people know this already, chap on the phone from CSA said it was going to be £40 from April and full disregard from October..... but then other sources say the full disregard will happen in April... hence why I really don't know...

    Until October 2008, parents with the main day-to-day care who were claiming benefits were compelled to use the statutory maintenance service (currently operated by the Child Support Agency), even when they were able to make arrangements without the help of the state.
    However, all parents are now able to choose the arrangement which best suits their own particular circumstances, whether or not they are on benefits. Child Maintenance Options is available to provide information and support to help parents make an informed choice.
    Since October 2008, all parents with the main day-to-day care who are claiming benefits have been able to keep more of any child maintenance paid - up to £20 per week - before it affects their benefits. This helps more money flow to low income families.
    In addition, from April 2010, child maintenance will be fully disregarded when calculating all out-of-work benefits. This will allow parents with the main day-to-day care to keep every penny of their child maintenance payments, where maintenance is paid.

    and as usual I dont get it:o
  • Blonde Bint - That was DUTR expressing the large amount of respect he has for women.

    He forgot to add that it takes 2 to Tango.

    He also forgot to add, with an attitude like that, I'm sure it has been a VERY long time since he has 'been there', sounds to me like his wishful thinking.

    This isn't the forum to discuss bedroom antics, but it has nothing to do with respect, :p
    yes it takes two to tango we all agree on that, the OP was not looking for sympathy, he was just seeking advice on what he may have to pay out .
  • Perhaps you would be most helpful by answering his question rather than make suggestions that are not relevant to the original post.

    Your suggestion was? Sorry, I must have missed it.
