    I really shouldn't imagine you can do anything about the past payments.

    What you need to do now is either apply to get the court order amended ... or just go through the CSA. Have you run your figures through the online CSA calculator to see if how much they would take would make a difference? It might be that even with the reduction for the overnights, they would still take more.

    Just focus on the future payments now.
    August GC 10th - 10th : £200 / £70.61
    NSD : 2/8
  • Your court order may be too old for the CSA to be able to overturn it.

    You have been paying the same amount for the last 10 years and this has now gone down as you only pay for one child ( For how much longer?)
    Let sleeping dogs lie and steer clear of the CSA
    Keep it friendly with the EX and remember the kids needed shoes,clothes,school uniform no matter which parent they were staying with
