Keep passing them on to solicitor. Don't respond.



Mutual agreement will not be worth the paper it's printed on, given what you say his history is. Stick with the CSA for this guy.

Ignore the stuff about his job, he's attention seeking and being a muppet, he has committed probable offences under the "prevention on harassment" act and jeopardised his chances of contact.

Ignore, ignore ignore, like the annoying kid in the playground he will go away eventually.

yeah we did have a mutual ageement b 4 csa and he paid and then messed arround so yes csa will deal with it courts dont do or deal with mutual agreements csa just plod on and make it differcult but their the middle man and i dont have to do the chasing. he will get a police letter and a lawyers letter this week and that will be messy as i know from past mistakes. but its all out of my hands and most prob end in court as police want it too.
we will see ???
watch this space.............

due to the problems with my ex over his payments ?
csa either take payments from the the absent parent based on their wages or their house hold income ? my ex is diputing due to high amount of arrears and he cant aford to live or travel to and from work .
but he said payments are high enough with out the arrears. hes been to DWP and explained this to them sayng thats why he has to quit his job as the house hold payments take into account his partners monies coming in.but CSA take 20% off for her children which is a higher rate than the amount per week for his own 2 girls?
he actually dont understand this and its very confusing . hes been thretting for over 3 weeks hes going to quit his job but still working . so anyone got any answers maybe?

csa either take payments from the the absent parent based on their wages plus any tax credits, possibly! or their house hold income ? my ex is diputing due to high amount of arrears and he cant aford to live or travel to and from work . Not your problem and CSA will not care.

Not your problem, CSA (DWP) will not care.

They "take" 80% of his net wage and you get 20% of that for your two. If he didn't live with kids, they would "take" 100% of his net wage and calculate 20% and pay it to you. Clearer?

he actually dont understand this and its very confusing . hes been thretting for over 3 weeks hes going to quit his job but still working . so anyone got any answers maybe?

It is not your problem whether he understands it, he's not quitting his job, is he?

Just don't discuss it with him.

What's happening about contact?

Just ignore this, CSA will sort him out. If he quits work, they will just charge himthe £5 and when he starts again, hit him with again.
If he is really silly, they will put an attachment of earning on, removing upto 40 percent of his salary before he is even paid.

Let them get on with it. Ignore him. Do not respond.

now this is something different, do csa take a partner who is not a blood father , his wages into account if the blood mother does not work ? my friend is moving her boyfriend in and comming off her income support but her eldest child lives with her real dad but she just got forms from csa but he didnt pay when the mum had the child living wiv her? he missed payments since 2003 so if her boyfriend moves in will they take his monies into account as she wont have her own monies coming in?

tonij

as to my own problems hes still working and non payment so far just waiting as they are doing deductions of earnings now. fingers crossed on my part . shame about my mate to the above i fel for her .

tonij your friend's boyf's income will not be taken into account, but any tax credits may.

It takes a while toni for them to get on with it - they will send him letters and if he refuses to comply then they will go for an attachment to earnings order. You need to chase the CSA and ensure that they keep chasing it with his employer and him otherwise it falls to the bottom of the pile.

As for the rest of the thread, in my experience if he wants contact and has not seen them for 18 months and the children dont want to see him, then suggest he gets a contact order. That way a CAFCASS report can be done and contact can be reintroduced slowly and at a pace suitable to the children if awarded, usually by telephone or letter first and then at a contact centre before full contact can be maintained. It will be up to him to come to you rather than the children go to him, so if he is serious about seeing them he will maintain that contact.

When you have children in any divorce situation its always about playing the long game, rise above the pettiness of the day to day cage rattling and concentrate on bringing up your children and getting maintenance for their day to day living expenses.
