Daughter is 11

74jax

After reading a thread on here, I think I may have missed someing with my CSA.

My daughter turned 11 last May, but the CSA I've recieved hasn't changed.

Was I supposed to inform them? I know it will be reduced by 25% but rather it be right.

Thanks.

The carer element drops by 25% .Kelloggs will be better to advise you as it doesn't necessary drop your assesment as you could have had a pay rise etc

If you want a new assessment you need to ask for it - it won't happen automatically. It may actually increase as it mostly depends on the housing costs and income of the NRP - if there are no changes in those since the last assessment then it will drop. There are also higher child allowances too, so that may offset any drop.

But surely if one had been given a pay rise one would have notified the CSA right away as this is a change of circumstances, atleast thats the case for 'old rules', cant speak for new rules.

No, as they were not obliged to do so except when asked.

Thats not the right thing to do. :cool: I am an nrp and have just told the csa of my wage rise and am now paying what I owe from aug 09. I would rather pay the correct amount for my daughter. And I am the mother:D

Imagine them catching up with you and they find out you had several wage rises???

What do you mean? My daughter is 11 and and I am the non -res parent. Mine has just been increased to £130 a month, my wage is £1000.17 and I get a £5 discount because I have her over 52 nights a year incl holidays.

Sorry ill phone them first thing


Depends on the circumstances though .You are not required to tell them about an increase in pay .Only when the PWC asks for a new assesment would it come to light that the NRP has a payrise.

Sorry didn't realise that you paid £130 per month .Try paying nearly that per week .

I know you are not required to tell them but its best to. I only have one child and decided not to have any more kids.

Are you sure that your pwc hasn't informed the CSA or asked for a reassessment since your pay increase?

The reason I ask is that I informed the CSA 4 years ago that my ex had changed jobs and requested a reassessment. Over a 3 year period, I had asked for 2 reviews, when he'd had change of jobs.

As it turned out, the CSA ignored my requests at the time. I just assumed (wrongly) there were no changes. This was not the case, which has come to light only now that my MP got involved on my behalf due to another CSA problem.

The nrp now has arrears which he must pay.....but of course he is fighting tooth and nail not to. (by the way, one of my requests did him a favour as he had a drop in salary)

I know you pay alot already, but if it were me, I'd be informing the CSA of all change in circumstances.
