New thread started - HELP!!!

Hi again, to all those who posted abusive messages on my thread, please please do not do it on this one. I am the lady whose ex husband is working offshore, I have had some info from a very helpful forum member regarding REMO (anxiousmum) I would welcome further advice from her. If you are anxiousmum, I have attempted to send you a private message from my previous thread, I'm not sure if you have received it.

    I have received your message and replied to you with the start up process and who you should call and try to speak to at your local Magistrates Court. Just remember and let them know that he does in fact reside in the UK with his other family whilst 'on leave', and that he owns property here. But just as important......make sure that they are aware that his employer is based where it is, and that his payroll is done from there.

    I did forget to mention though - have you received an official reason as to why your CSA case should be shut down? Or was this just a 'spoken thought' from the person who you have spoken to on the phone?

    I'm glad you opened a new thread - as there are a few people on here who will be able to help and advise you - they'll be along no doubt :)

    :D
    I did point that out too, but good luck once again to the OP :j
  • The person I spoke to at the CSA was very vague and said that the Change of Circumstances Team would be calling me within five working days, but as ex works for a non-UK company they would be closing my case. She said that there are private companies in the UK who would enforce payment, but it would be very expensive. I am awaiting a phone call back from CSA but think I will be more successful with REMO

    It sounds like they are trying to fob you off as your case is not a usual run of the mill (easy) episode, or that it may take a long time and plenty of resource to resolve in your favour. By no way give up on the cause, perhaps PM Kellogs36 (have not noticed her on for a while so maybe on hols) as I understand she has a greater understanding of the more complex process's or NACSA maybe able to . I take it there has already been some kind of negotiating with the ex to see if there can be any kind of private arrangement?
    Good Luck
  • Hi, thanks for further info. No contact whatsoever with ex, divorce, arrangements for my daughter etc through the Courts. Would have loved to have sorted out a private agreement, but this will never happen. I am not a bitter and twisted ex, as it was me who chose to end the marriage, and was happy when he remarried, however things have gone rapidly down hill, as I understand that new wife 'wears the trousers', but he now has zero contact with our daughter, although my daughter has told me that he emails her when he is offshore, and has promised on numerous occasions to arrange to meet for an icecream and catch up when he is home in the UK (every four weeks) but then does not contact her, and has his phone switched off permanently. My daughter is also upset that she has to read on Facebook about where her step-siblings are going on holiday, what they have been bought, and can't understand what she has done wrong.
