What happens when NRP has 2 different children he pays CSA to?

How does the CSA work this out? Would the first non resident child get preference (old CSA 1 system) or would it work out that 15% would be deducted from NRP's net income for 1st child, then 15% of the remainder for the 2nd child?

Ex has just text me effing and blinding that as I opened up a new case for our daughter, this has also flagged up that he hasn't paid CSA to his 1st child for over 5 years so they are coming after him for CSA for 1st child (plus back payments I would imagine) and for our daughter. When we were together I kept telling him that he needed to contact the CSA about 1st child but he didn't bother thinking it wouldn't catch up with him, but now it has and I am getting all the blame.

Also would they base the claim on last years wages (he earnt £35k) but he is now saying he won't earn that much this year due to change of shift patterns and no overtime so will be earning £25k. Would they take his word for it initially; or wait for further pay slips before doing a claim on current wages?

Many thanks in advance

Your new case would bring the old case over to CS2.

He'd be assessed at 20% of his net income, split equally between both children.

He'll still have arrears to pay for the original case.

When he fills in the maintenance enquiry form, they'll ask for his last three months worth of payslips and it will be based on those figures.

Ok that makes sense.
