CSA Advice

Its true to say CSa are exempt from bankruptancy proceedings, but if you have no money, you have no money. No advising this route, but unlikely you will be forced to pay the debt in 24 months andmany NRp's have taken this route.

But the NRP does have money, he has chosen not to pay his maintenance liability for the last two years and has instead started a debt management plan. The CSA will not take any notice of the debt he has accrued but will take up to 40% of his salary for maintenance and arrears. They may take longer to recover the arrears than 24 months but as the OP has money allocated to other debts and still owns 50% of the marital home, its not that he does not have it.

MarkeyMark - got ur pm, thx, I'll respond later tonight.

Thx to everybody else too. Another quick question, can I (and is it a wise thing to do) ask the CSA to put a liability order on the house my ex & daughter are living in? It's been on the market for 2 years, and has sufficient equity locked up in it?

Not if she is the PWC - they can only put a liability order on money owed by an NRP which can lead to a charging order to recover money. You will need to seek legal advice to get it done the other way round for money owed to you.
