Hypothetical question

If a man was chased by the CSA for having lots of kids. Say....9 whats the maximum % of his income they can take?
Hi there! We’ve had to remove your signature. It was so good we removed it because we cannot think of one so good as you had and need to protect others from seeing such a great signature.

  • 25%, but if you have accrued any arrears, 40%.
    But, hypothetically speaking now... best advice is, put a condom on it!!!

    Hypothetically, what they could TAKE, and what you should offer may be two very different things......

    and....

    hypothetically.....could you imagine the response a woman would get coming on here saying 'how much could I get if I had many kids.....say 9.......from each of the dads?' lol

    Answer to this one is................................................£££££££££££££££££££££ as long as you were on Income Support...................this is the whole joke of the system. Being able to keep 100% of CM whilst received benefits, at the cost of us working tax payers, it's disgusting!!!!!!

    Those of us who are responsible enough to pay taxes and work in order to provide for our children, it seems are paying for the Jeremy Kyle regulars, those who swig cider, smoke like chimneys, have many children to several partners, wear Argos gold, and are hardly an advert for the educated English Rose :mad:

    Sorry, but you all know the type I mean, those lovely ladies, who get up the duff by several men, to live on benefits and CS, with their houses, all expenses paid, oh poor them, my heart bleeds - NOT!!! They are the same ones who have all singing all dancing Sky TV, 50'' plasma televisions, and all mod gadgets - it gets my back up - rant over!!

    All right DX2:D

    but if a bloke did have say 9 kids to diff mothers what would the percentage payable for him be? because for 9 kids 25 percent isnt much is it.

    he might be a !!!!-take artist but he's got me on the wonder, after 3 kids at 25 percent it stops increasing maybe it shouldnt. because if you have 6 kids you only get the same as someone with 3 kids so thats not enough really is it?

    Are you kidding?? Thread is absolutely NOTHING to do with PWC claiming CS and yet there is still a good load of bashing going on.

    Tremendous

    Loopy - I am a PWC! But have always been a bl**dy hard working one, no I'm not bad-mouthing the majority of PWC, just a minority give us decent mothers a bad image. My children went without CS from their father for the ulk of their childhood, yet, I held down 3 jobs and somehow managed to keep us fed, watered and a roof over our heads.

    You're right - I forgot. I'm sorry.

    I still think the post was uncalled for and it didn't have a place in this thread.

    Rehashing the stereotype keeps lone parents just like that - a stereotype.

    I'm sure there are thousands of people on IS who don't live like that but are entitled to the full CS - it's not them that makes the rules.

    Just like there are thousands of working lone parents but unfortunately they seem to have a name as drinking, smoking and JK a watching baby making machines...god knows where that came from;)
