I am a bit confused, my new husband has paid the csa for the past 8 years. They now want to see my wage slips and mortage details so they can reaccess him. How can that be they are not my children and i have never seen them.Have they a right to take in account my salary and take from my wages as i already have 2 children of my own.Mu husband has always payed his ex maintaince and never missed a payment. HELP!!!

I'm a newbie to CSA. My new partner has 3 children and when he moved in with me - the only details the CSA wanted was my tax credit documents. This is because they use WTC and CTC in their assessment.
They haven't asked for anything else.

If your husband is on a CS1 case, started before 2003, they will want details of your income. You don't have to provide information, but if you don't, I believe they can do an interim assessment or something which may mean higher payments.

At no point will the CSA be taking anything from your wages. They can't do that.

The CSA may want this info to assess his housing costs, etc. For example, if the housing costs are £100 and you earn enough to cover half, they may say his actual housing costs are only £50 because you can pay some too. This may then affect the amount he has to pay.

Also, make sure that the CSA are aware of any children living with you and your husband as allowances are made for them and it may lower the amount he has to pay.
