Exactly DUTR, money or your life?
I don't really need to explain my decisions to jacklink, but am sure i didn't moan as you put it.
If i want to earn over a grand a week, i can continue working as i do and spend little time with my son, six months a year.
Thing is, my family is far more important than money.
//edit the sad thing under the current system is the pwc will have nothing from the csa for four months! July-October. Think that's all i moaned about actually.0 -

Thing is, my family is far more important than money. Absolutely and there are many parents on here from both sides who would like to be a larger part of their childs family.

Money is not the solution to everything unfortunately that seems to be the only thing that the CSA is concerned with. Ultimately whether Mum and Dad live together or 1000 miles apart then they should both be able to have an input into that childs life if that is what they want. money should not come into the equation.Free/impartial debt advice: Consumer Credit Counselling Service (CCCS) | National Debtline | Find your local CAB0 -

I never said you were moaning, just some on here seem to judge others on what they get or giving, I stopped doing OT at work, but like you had opportunity to earn good money, as you I have learned that covering the basics and then having a life is more important than how much we can earn compared to the Jones's . £500 a week is ample, £1500 is better only if the difference can be enjoyed by the earner :T0
