    definalty make sure that you keep a record of any payments you give her from now on if you can pay her by cheque standing order direct debit or bank transfer and keep copies of everthing if she is claiming benefit then she wont want this to happen
    if she refuses and says she wants cash ect just say no i prefer to go with the csa and dont budge not an inch

    if your kids are teenagers then i doubt if there mum will be able to influence them one bit im sure that they are on facebook have mobile phones ect so keeping contact and up to date with them and there lives is very easy to do even if you dont get to see them as much

    She can only claim maintenance from date she contacted CSA. So, as Kelloggs said she can't claim now for last 12 years, but she can make things dificult now.

    On new CS2 assessment a % of your wage is automatically calculated depending on how many children you have, for 2 hildren it is 20% of your wage. No mortgage etc are taken into account just a straight 20%.

    If you are employed they can easily (usually do get) DEO, if you self-employed then another matter.

    Keep texys/replies, don't alert her to fact she cannot claim for time efore she contacted CSA,
    and also if you do give her any maintenance,

    make sure any monies are clearly marked as Child Maintenance for child 1 **** ******** & child 2 ******* ****** (their names),

    also make sure it states payment made from ***** ****** (your name), includes your national insurance number,

    and made payable in respect of child support to *** **** (PWC name).

    Copy such a cheaque/document, get PWC to sign it/date it,


    and keep copies, if she does not comply do not hand any money over to her, as if she has contacted CSA they'll come looking for you soon enough anyway, at which time you will also owe arrears, so put some money aside

    Agree with the above
